Galapagos Cruises
The Galapagos are perhaps the most famous islands in the world for studying wildlife. They are located about 600 miles west of Ecuador. A unique feature of the wildlife is that virtually all the animals have no fear of humans and can be approached. Each of the 13 main islands has its own unique species, an observation that helped Charles Darwin to his theory of evolution. Most people visiting the Galapagos stay on boats that motor between the islands, however. There are excellent accommodations, ranging from luxurious to basic, if you do not wish to stay on the book. We recommend the luxurious and beautiful Red Mangrove inn, if you have an opportunity to stay there.
