To discover the Galapagos Islands is to discover nature in its purest state. So pure, in fact, that it led the young English naturalist Charles Darwin, who visited the islands in 1835, to write “The Origin of the Species”…and the world has not been the same since.Located 1,000 Km. off Ecuador’s Pacific coast,this mysterious and fascinating archipelago is comprised of 13 large islands, six smaller ones and over 40 islets.

Together they cover 7,500 sq. Km. Most are south of the Equator where several marine currents converge. Thus, all of the elements were in place to create this zoological, geological and botanical wonder.
