Thank you for posting the detailed itinerary and stunning photos. We recently returned from a Smithsonian sponsored tour to the Amazon, Machu Picchu and the Galapagos. We stayed at a hotel on Santa Cruz Island in the Galapagos. I am enjoying reading your account of the ship based tour.
We were very happy with Hotel Jazz. The room was nice and the location was great. We took the Aerobus from the airport to the hotel. There is a Metro station close to the hotel that makes visiting sites such as la Sagrada Familia very easy.
