THE GALÁPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
The pristine Galápagos Islands are an ecological wonderland<br />
set in the Pacific Ocean off the western coast of South Amer-<br />
ica. Home to some of the world’s most fascinating creatures,<br />
the Galápagos is teeming with giant tortoises, penguins, sea<br />
lions, lizards, and a host of diverse bird species. Charles Dar-<br />
win found the inspiration for his research here. With turquoise<br />
blue ocean views, lava-rock landscapes, and an immeasurable<br />
diversity of flora and fauna, it stands to reason that the Galápa-<br />
gos Islands will inspire every visitor who roams their shores.<br />
