All About the Galapagos

The Galapagos were born from volcanoes erupting violently out of the sea. Plant and animal species traversed 1000km of ocean to colonize the islands, leaving species isolated and evolving independently on different islands. Observing this had a resounding impact on the formations of Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection and the theory of evolution by natural selection.

All About Ecuador

Most visitors to the Galapagos fly into Quito and plan activities and tours on Ecuador's mainland. Wildlife lovers flock to the many lodges of the Amazon region and explore Mindo, the Avenue of the Volcanoes and Baños. History buffs explore colonial haciendas and city centers of Cuenca and Quito.

Everyone knows that the Galapagos Islands are a pristine haven for wildlife. These remote islands have been their own ecosystem for millennia and many of the Galapagos species are endemic, or not found anywhere else in the world. But the Galapagos Islands were discovered by man in the sixteenth century and colonized in the nineteenth. The hardy men and women who came to Galapagos brought domestic animals and plants with them, and these often competed with native species. Today, unfortunately, there are several Galapagos bird species that are considered at very high risk for extinction. Here are some and what is being done to protect them.

It seems that everywhere you go in the Galapagos Islands, you see a postcard-perfect view in all directions. The Galapagos Islands are beautiful (not for nothing are they a finalist for the New Seven Wonders of the World Competition!), and white-sand beaches, underwater wonderlands and lush highlands are just part of the package. The most-photographed of all of these Galapagos postcard views is without a doubt the view from the top of Bartholomew Island. It is in many ways the quintessential Galapagos photograph: smiling visitors, with the unmistakable Pinnacle Rock in the background, all framed against a tranquil Galapagos sea.
