Galapagos – Coasts and Beaches – Travelogue 2
The coasts and beaches in the Galapagos archipelago are a very special nature experience. In this unadulterated landscape, almost untouched by human hands, we feel how gigantic the powers of nature are and how small and small one’s own human abilities are.
On our shore leave we climb the piled up huge rock formations, which are whitewashed by the droppings of the birds. On the cliffs, we are surrounded by the bursting force of the sea, which is constantly reshaping and reshaping the coasts.
We are presented with a unique scenario like the history of the formation of the earth. Everything seems to be in a process of continuous destruction and constant renewal.
And yet there is a peculiar calm and regularity to be felt here, which cannot be reconciled with the hectic pace of our normal (European) everyday life. We feel closer to the origin of life here in a strange way than in any other place on earth.
The variety of coasts and beaches is simply incredible. Pitoresquely staged lava formations alternate with beach bays that actually only appear in a dream. We see bridge constructions that in their beauty and simplicity can only be created by nature. We store the images of the Galapagos Islands in our interior, which we should not forget in a hurry.
