Galapagos

Splendidly isolated nearly 1,000 km off the Ecuador coast, the Galapagos Archipelago is almost a world within a world. Whether on land or sea there is always a surprise of nature lurking around a corner. Giant tortoises grunt in distant highlands; prehistoric marine iguanas hiss and spit sprays of salt; pink flamingos adorn the shores of hidden lagoons. Flightless cormorants and tiny penguins dart amongst colorful schools of fish, while elegant tropical birds glide through deep blue skies. With such a varied and utterly unique flora and fauna it is difficult to do justice to the ‘Galapagos Experience’ with words alone. The only way to truly appreciate this ‘heaven on earth’ is to see it for yourself.
