Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos Islands are a remote archipelago located about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador in South America. Known for their unique wildlife and geological features, the islands are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's premier destinations for nature lovers. The islands' volcanic origin has created a diverse landscape of rocky shores, pristine beaches, and rugged highlands. Visitors can expect to encounter an incredible array of species, including giant tortoises, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and many more, all of which have evolved in isolation and adapted to the islands' unique environment.
