Straddling the equator, this small nation is richly endowed with
snowy Andean peaks towering over emerald-green slopes, rivers winding through
tropical jungles, and beyond all this in the Pacific, lie the Galapagos Islands.
Located in the Pacific Ocean and approx. 1000 km off the coast of Ecuador,
directly on the equator, the isolation of the islands has permitted life forms
to evolve into species found only in Galapagos. This was observed by Charles
Darwin, and his research contributed to the fame of the islands. It is a
dramatic and beautiful world of volcanic landscapes and fearless animals: Giant
Tortoises, Fur Seals, Sea Lions, Land and Sea Iguanas and many species of birds.
A visit to this impressive wildlife sanctuary will be a memorable experience for
those who appreciate nature.
