WHY GALAPAGOS?

Because of the magic and the pristine nature of the islands. As this is the home of the most fantastic land and marine species. Animals have unique features and behaviors that show life before humans. But the Galapagos Islands are not only landscapes, colors, diversity of types of beaches, pristine ecosystems, or amazing animals, but it has the magic to be considered a “living laboratory of evolution.”
It is considered the “living laboratory of evolution” because the animals and plants from far away that populate these volcanic islands meet very different environmental conditions from their original homes.
The species had to adapt quickly to that change and evolve to survive, which is how new species were created. Meeting these unique species, in their natural, pristine environment, is a life experience with no equal. Galapagos is what it is, for being this “living laboratory of evolution” and being one of the islands with the most striking landscapes, pristine land and marine ecosystems, and a sanctuary of unique and captivating species.
 

The Islands

Every island in the Galapagos is different from the other, and all this is due to how they were formed. If the 4,600 million years of Earth´s history were simulated in 24 hours, the Galapagos Islands would have formed in the last two minutes of that day.
