In its January 2008 Travel & Spa Guide, Harper’s Bazaar highlights emerging destinations that combine style, setting, and a sense of escape.

The feature introduces Galapagos Safari Camp as a newly established retreat in the highlands of Santa Cruz, tracing its origins back to a farm discovered by its founders during a visit to the islands. Set among coffee, guava, and banana plantations, the Camp is described as South America’s first luxury tented safari experience.

At the time, the property comprised a small number of tents, an infinity pool, and a central pavilion designed as a gathering space. Its inland location—around 30 minutes from the coast—is noted not as a limitation, but as part of its appeal, offering a quieter, more secluded base from which to explore the islands.

“…a farm with panoramic views of the Pacific and islands to the north and west.”
