Galapagos Islands


Loberia beach San Cristobal

A truly unique place on this planet is the Galapagos Islands. As part of Ecuador, these islands are known for Darwin’s evolution theory as much of the wildlife on these islands can often only be found in the archipelago, and sometimes even at one single island.

Anyone who visits the Galapagos Islands and loves animals is in for a treat. From seals hanging around on the beach to blue footed boobies, giant tortoises and cool looking iguanas, there’s an abundance of animals. And that’s just on land, as the unique variety underwater is equally impressive. Penguins, hammerhead sharks, nurse sharks and many more species all call the waters of Galapagos their home. And the nice thing is, they are extremely well protected and often thrive.

The islands itself all vary in terms of landscapes, from the lush mountainous highlands of Santa Cruz to the barren landscape of San Cristobal and volcanic Isabela. Combine this with a friendly population who truly takes pride in protecting their islands, and you can see why so many people are drawn to it.

So, if you’re planning a trip to Ecuador, make sure to include the Galapagos Islands to your itinerary and surround yourself with its unique wildlife!
