The Galapagos Archipelago provides important nesting grounds for the turtles. From In November, the turtles travel from the Pacific to the Galapagos. Four different species of turtles also have permanent homes in the waters of the Galapagos Islands:
🐢 Green sea turtle (𝐶ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑖𝑎 𝑚𝑦𝑑𝑎𝑠)
🐢 Hawksbill turtle (𝐸𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑚𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑠 𝑖𝑚𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑎)
🐢 Olive ridley sea turtle (𝐿𝑒𝑝𝑖𝑑𝑜𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑠 𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑎)
🐢 Leatherback sea turtle (𝐷𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑎)
Turtles can grow to become extremely big and heavy. The heaviest turtle can weigh up to 400 kg, although that is hardly noticeable when they are able to swim so quickly and swiftly. The age of turtles are still undergoing extensive research but one may assume that they can live up to 120 years old! To plan your trip better, check out our Galapagos Islands monthly animal activities poster.

From the 2nd to the 5th, the usually sleepy fishing village of Copacabana comes alive with music, eating, drinking and dancing to celebrate a mixture of traditional Andean beliefs and Catholic tradition. Our Lady of Copacabana, also known as the Dark Virgin of the Lake, is revered in Bolivia for a series of miracles she is believed to have worked in the area. According to local legend, in 1576, some Inca fisherman were caught in a treacherous storm on Lake Titicaca. As they prayed for their lives, the Virgin Mary appeared and guided them to safety. To show their immense gratitude, the fishermen built a large shrine housing a statue of the Virgin sculpted by Tito Yupanqui; a man who experienced his very own sighting of the Virgin in the same year the storm occurred.

In a remote pocket of the Sacred Valley is an ancient agricultural laboratory. Encircled by terraces and a complex system of irrigation aqueducts, the site’s gigantic natural bowl-shaped hole was once filled with fertile soil, growing more than 250 vegetal species. Resembling an ancient Roman amphitheater, the concentric circles are not only a wonder of science but a vision of beauty.

To see Salar de Uyuni’s breathtaking mirror effort, visit during the wet season, from December to April—but be aware that when it gets too rainy, it can be hard to get around and you might not be able to access certain areas. May to November is the dry season, which means temperatures are colder, but the ground is harder and you can drive across the land more easily.

The ideal month to visit is May, when the seasons transition from wet to dry and you’ll have a good chance of seeing the salt both dusty and reflective.

South American fur seal adults in Peru feed almost exclusively on anchovies, and juveniles there feed on demersal (living near the bottom of the sea) fish. Lactating females tend to dive and feed at night to an average depth of 40 m for periods of about 3 minutes though otherwise they have been observed diving to depths of up to 170 m for up to 7 minutes.
The breeding season for the South American fur seal, Arctocephalus australis, takes place from October-December. Females reach sexual maturity at 3 years, males at 7 years, however males do not begin breeding until about 8 years of age. The breeding adult males compete for territories and females. The South American fur seal often forms its territory in the intertidal zone so that they have access to water to cool themselves. Females travel with their pups between dry land and the water.

Lake Titicaca is the world’s highest navigable lake and one of South America’s stunning natural wonders. The deep blue of the water seems to meld with the sky and a ring of snow-tipped peaks creates the remarkable sensation of floating atop the earth’s highest elevations.
