The Galápagos Islands is a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. It’s considered one of the world’s foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing. A province of Ecuador, it lies about 1,000km off its coast. Its isolated terrain shelters a diversity of plant and animal species, many found nowhere else. Charles Darwin visited in 1835, and his observation of Galápagos’ species later inspired his theory of evolution.
Tremendous amount of wildlife and a lot of it not bothered by humans:
We saw some of the Galapagos giant tortoises.
There are some beautiful venues on the Islands:
We lived for 4 days and 3 nights on our small 16 passenger boat that was our home for cruising the Islands;
We saw many varieties of sea life when we snorkeled.
