These wonderful islands are part
of the world’s and the Ecuadorians’ pride, for this reason
we conserve the islands in the best way possible. These archipelago
inspired Charles Darwin to conclude his Evolution of the Species
Theory. Galapagos is formed by 13 large islands and 47 small islands
where different forms of life have adapted. Each animal and plant has
evolved according to the geography of each island. There are plenty of
things see in these islands such as birds, mammals and plants, which
are unique in the world. The only way to visit the islands is by
cruise. There are cruises of all sizes and tours of all costs.
Traveling categories include luxury, first class, tourist superior
class, tourist class, and economic class. It all depends on your
budget. You can travel to the islands by plane from Quito or Guayaquil.
