Galápagos Islands

Fearless wildlife: sea lions, giant tortoises, marine iguanas and blue-footed boobies.

The Galápagos are a living lesson in evolution: snorkel with sea lions, turtles and penguins, watch blue-footed boobies dance and walk among giant tortoises. Base yourself on Santa Cruz and San Cristóbal or join a small-ship cruise; park rules protect this fragile ecosystem.
