Galápagos Islands — Evolution's Living Laboratory | 7-Day Travel Package

Where Wildlife Has No Fear of Humans

The Galápagos Islands are unlike anywhere else on Earth. This remote volcanic archipelago, straddling the equator 1,000 kilometres off the coast of Ecuador, inspired Charles Darwin's theory of evolution — and today it remains the world's greatest living wildlife sanctuary. Animals here have never learned to fear humans, making every encounter an extraordinary, intimate experience you will never forget.
