GALAPAGOS

The Galápagos islands is about six hundred miles west of the mainland. It is an isolated and protected volcanic cluster, which includes thirteen major islands, six smaller islands, and over forty islets. The flora and fauna evolved in isolation, which makes the Galápagos Islands a fascinating place to visit.

It was a visit to the Galápagos that lead Charles Darwin to develop his theory of evolution. It is one of the most pristine environments in the world: giant turtles, pelicans, seals, penguins, iguanas, dolphins, whales, and many more species living together.
