Hidden down a shady path just before the Charles Darwin Center in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, The Galapagos, is a small garden dedicated to mosaic murals and sculptures covered in tile.

The place is magical and full of stories waiting to be discovered. Why is the mermaid diving deep while holding onto a struggling bright orange lobster? Do the volcanos tell the tale of the beginning of the earth or just of the islands themselves? Why is the wise old owl playing jump rope with a serpant? And who is it declaring their love to me in a broken letter?
If you are a child of the imagination looking for an escape from the tourist shops and the long days of trying to fit everything in, then you just might need to visit this small oasis.
