Alfredo Ribadeneira Arquitectos Completes Finch Bay Galápagos Hotel in Puerto Ayora

Alfredo Ribadeneira Arquitectos has completed the Finch Bay Galápagos Hotel, a 36,802 m² project in Puerto Ayora dated 2025. The hotel is located in the Galápagos Islands, an archipelago whose biodiversity was studied by Charles Darwin, whose observations helped shape the ideas that later contributed to his theory of evolution. According to the project team's description, the islands remain a place of constant adaptation, where life, landscape and human experience coexist in a uniquely close relationship. Over the years, the Finch Bay Galápagos Hotel has evolved within this environment, becoming a bridge between visitors and one of the world's most extraordinary natural settings. Alfredo Jose Ribadeneira is the principal architect. The design team includes Andrada Manole, with interior design by Julio Vinueza and Juan Pablo Cárdenas. Structural engineering and consulting is by Ospining, and Carlos Burneo serves as general contractor. Photography is by Sebastian Crespo, and the project is curated by Valentina Díaz. The scheme is classified in the hotels category.
