Bibliography

Galapagos: Islands Born of Fire, by Tui De Roy. A wonderfully written book accompanied by impressive photography by Tui De Roy, this book was my first starting point for learning about the ecology of the islands.

Let's Go Ecuador, Editor Esti M. Iturralde, 1999. A bit light on Galapagos info, it's still a handy book to have around for learning about Ecuador.

A Traveler's Guide to the Galapagos Islands, by Barry Boyce, 3rd Edition, 1998. This was my main travel guide, and it provided great background material and accurate advice. Well written throughout, the only problem is that it only mentioned Renato's pop's hotel (the Sol Y Mar) briefly :)

Reef Fish Identification: Galápagos, by Paul Humann. Our snorkelling bible, we consulted it after almost every snorkelling trip.
