Why the
Galapagos Islands
are special
The Galapagos Islands of Ecuador are remote. They are some 1000 kilometers (600 miles) off the South American mainland.
As Charles Darwin discovered, this geographical isolation enabled Galapagos Island creatures to slowly evolve into new versions of themselves, ones that are found nowhere else on earth.
Nearly all the 60,000 plus travelers who visit the Galapagos Islands take a Galapagos cruise to see the fascinating wildlife.
