benefit of our current and potential clients.Our VALUES are leadership, quality service, punctuality, commitment and common sense.
Our history took place in isla Baltra, Galapagos in the period
1941-1945. At that time, Ecuador donated an old military base to the
United States of America so it could be used to protect the Panama
channel during World War II. Baltra’s people never refered to the island as “Baltra” as it can be
found in maps, nor used the military code name “Base Beta”. They simply
called it “The Rock”.
“The Rock” has been described in many ways. During her visit to Galapagos, Eleanor Roosevelt said: “It is as if the earth spit out rocks of many shapes and sizes”. American pilots described it saying “Baltra, five thousand square miles of rocks without trees” or “You move one rock with great effort to find out that there are more rocks underneath”. Around four thousand US soldiers came to this place called “The Rock” waiting for a war that never reached this place. US soldiers had to face long periods of monotony, isolation and
loneliness. Fortunately, they had “The Galapagos Beer Garden”, the first
bar in the Galapagos islands, where they could spend the nights having
fun and relaxing.
The Rock bar-restaurant invites you to remember those moments of fun and relax that took place at “The Galapagos Beer Garden”.
