Galapagos

About Galapagos

Located at the crossroads of the Equatorial Counter current and the colder Humbolt Current, the waters surrounding the island are rich with nutrients that attract whales, sharks, dolphins, sea lions and numerous other big animals. No landing is permitted on the islands of Wolf and Darwin but it is around these more remote islands that some of the most impressive encounters occur. Land tours are a big part of any Galapagos itinerary as well as visits to several visitors centers and research stations.

Embarking on a journey to the Galápagos Islands is a sojourn into one of the world’s most extraordinary and ecologically diverse destinations. This remote archipelago, situated in the Pacific Ocean, captivates with its unique wildlife, pristine landscapes, and unparalleled marine experiences. Walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin, exploring the untouched beauty of volcanic landscapes and encountering iconic species like giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and playful sea lions. Snorkel in crystalline waters surrounded by colorful fish, sea turtles, and rays, while cruising between the islands unveils a living laboratory of evolution. Each island boasts its own distinct charm, from the lunar-like landscapes of Bartolomé to the lush greenery of Santa Cruz. The Galápagos Islands promise an immersive and unforgettable adventure, where every moment is a brushstroke in the masterpiece of nature.
