TAR: Latin America (previous seasons)** includes spoilers**
Vitoko:
Mexico -> Guatemala -> Brazil -> Ecuador
We are missing a lot of destinations they should be on the Final 5 or 4, so there is only one or two legs to run... so I wonder where is the Final Destination, Ecuador? Colombia? Peru? Mexico again? Somewhere in the Ocean Pacific? :lol3:
I was waiting for another leg in Chile actually in Tierra del Fuego and the Antartica Chilena that would be awesome...
krabbe:
You forgot to insert Bolivia before Ecuador, Vitoko.
Man, TARLA has waaaay cooler destinations than TAR! :lol: I wonder what kind of tasks they can do in Galapagos. It's a delicate ecosystem. All that running around can't be good for the local seal population.

What to do in Galapagos Island according to wikitravel:
--- Quote ---Recommended activities
* Climb the hill on Bartolome for the classic Galapagos view
* Visit the Giant Tortoise breeding and rearing program at the Charles Darwin Research Centre[24] on Santa Cruz.
* See the red neck sacks of the Magnificent Frigatebird on North Seymour.
* Visit unique and color species like the Galapagos penguins on Isabela or Floreana.
* Go snorkeling with sea lions and pacific sea turtles as often as possible.
[edit] Snorkeling & Scuba Diving
Snorkeling and diving are very popular activities as the sea life is so rich and colourful.
Snorkeling equipment should be available from your tour operator (but check first) if you don't have your own. You may also want to bring a waterproof camera. Remember to wear at least a T-shirt and suntan lotion if you are snorkeling, as it's all too easy to get sunburnt in the strong sun. Snorkeling offers a way to be in the water with fish, sea turtles, sea lions, and other creatures and is a great option for those who don't have scuba certification.
Diving in the Galapagos is incredible as noted by Rodale's Scuba Diving Magazine. Ranked as the best dive destination in the world for several years in the categories of healthiest marine environment, best big animal dive and best advanced diving. That said, the Galapagos is not necessarily the right place for beginners or novices. Currents, surge, cold water, and sometimes poor visibility and depths make this a challenge. Certification courses are available in both Santa Cruz and San Cristobal for those looking to learn, and there are several dive sites that are relatively beginner-friendly.
There are 3 ways to dive in the Galapagos Islands:
1. Daily dives with a local tour operator, primarily from Santa Cruz and San Cristobal.
2. Galapagos island-hopping dive trips
3. Galapagos liveaboards.
Two of the world's premier diving destinations, Darwin Island and Wolf Island, are accessible only via expensive live-aboard charters. These islands present challenging currents and are not suitable for beginners, but offer amazing opportunities to see huge schools of hammerhead sharks and occasional whale sharks, amongst many other large animals. Other areas within the park offer opportunities for swimming with sharks, sea turtles, and a vast number of fish species.
Note that park regulations may change unexpectedly; in 2007, many divers were caught unaware as the National Park withdrew diving permits from quite a few cruise ships without notice, leaving many divers without dive cruises they had booked far in advance. For this reason, travelers are advised to get the most up-to-date information possible when planning a dive trip to the Galapagos Islands. In 2010, the National Park is now regulating land-based diving for the first time and few of the many shops operating have the new permits necessary.
