ECUADOR DESTINATIONS
THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

The extremely bio-diverse Galapagos Islands lie almost 1000 km off the Ecuadorian coast. They are renowned as the site of Charles Darwin’s research; for the unique and fearless wildlife that makes its home there; and as a Mecca for nature-lovers. You can swim with sea lions, float face-to-face with penguins and stand beside a blue-footed booby as it feeds its young. The barren and volcanic landscape is peerless in its haunting beauty.

This is one of the planet’s natural paradises and one of the most visited national parks in the world. The flora and fauna you’ll find here are truly unique. Here, you’ll see unending beaches of white sand such as those of Tortuga Bay, tunnels of lava, spectacular diving areas, and a marine reserve.

In certain areas of the Galapagos Marine Reserve, it is possible to partake in either deep or shallow diving and to have close contact with the impressive aquatic species of the sea: coral reefs, whales, whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, sting rays, turtles, and many others. The giant Tortoise is probably the best known of all Galapagos animals and even gave the Islands their name (Galapago means turtle in Spanish). Another interesting animal species found here is the Marine Iguana, which descended from land iguanas that learned to hunt for food underwater when it became scarce on land.
In the depths of the sea, there are strong ocean currents and impressive extrusions of lava that shouldn’t be missed by divers while they are enjoying the exotic marine wildlife. Other marine habitats are formed of rocky bottoms, vertical walls, and mangroves.
