GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

Considered a genuine paradise in the world due to its unique flora and fauna, and a once in a lifetime travelers experience. Galapagos the "Enchanted Islands" was declared as Natural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO; with 13 main islands, this Archipelago showcases a bursting diversity of biological, marine, and botanical species that live in complete harmony.

This land of volcanoes, solidified lava flows, white, red and black sand beaches was born from the womb of the Pacific Ocean 640 nautical miles (about 1000 kilometers) from the coast of Ecuador.

The Galapagos are more than a tourist attraction for the nature lover. They are a scientific jewel known as "the laboratory of evolution & quotand home of enormous centenary tortoises.

Located in Santa Cruz Island, the Charles Darwin Research Station, which opened in 1962, has been created to maintain the delicate equilibrium of the area while allowing tourists to have the unique experience of seeing endemic species as close as you could ever imagine in a natural laboratory.

In 1959, the Government declared the Islands a National Park; placing them under the strict and necessary protection of Law. Policies and rules for management were created to preserve this paradise where animals are fearless to men.

The archipelago is composed of 13 major islands, six smaller ones and more than 40 islets and rocks, many of them with more than a single name. Those are home of see lions, marine and land iguanas, giant tortoises, pink flamingos, pelican, Galapagos hawk, frigate birds, red and blue-footed boobies, masked boobies, flightless cormorant and albatrosses. Underwater the diversity is amazing. That's why Galapagos diving means enjoying a beauty scenery of unlimited marine flora and fauna.

Galapagos is a land and see gem. This islands represent one of the world's marvels. Visiting them is an unforgivable experience.
