Dining amidst marine iguanas? An Angermeyer exclusive!
The painter Karl Angermeyer was born on the 2nd of November, 1914 in Hamburg, Germany. In 1937 he decided to leave Germany, fleeing from the Nazi regime along with his brothers. After a long and adventurous journey he finally settled in Galapagos, where he lived in intimate contact with the wild, natural world.
Together with Marga Foelger - his wife of 50 years - they built their house on one of the most beautiful points of Puerto Ayora, Galapagos, sharing it with a colony of marine iguanas that in the beginning ignored their presence but later, thanks to Karl’s sensitive encouragement, learned to live together. Along with the spectacular landscape they were even used as models for his wonderful pictorial artwork.
In this magical place, also known as the "House of the Iguanas", we have remodeled and inaugurated Angermeyer Point, a cozy restaurant with capacity for 60 people, offering a central dining room, a terrace raised over the sea and an open-air garden.
