Iglesia Cristo Salvador

The Galápagos Islands


Looming above the central square, this church boasts uniquely Galápagos iconography. Note the stained-glass windows of native wildlife (marine iguana, booby, penguin, flamingo), while the mural beside the altar shows Jesus ascending above Puerto Villamil while frigate birds, a marine iguana and blue-footed boobies look on. A giant tortoise keeps a watchful eye from the pulpit.
