Galapagos: A Must See For Many

The Galapagos Islands off Ecuador are an absolute must if you travel to Ecuador and are interested in unique, wild creatures. It is a volcanic archipelago that has been isolated for thousands of years. Nature through evolution has created unique creatures, many found only on Galapagos.

A tour in the Galapagos Islands National Park is not inexpensive, but many say it is worth every cent. There are many good deals right now, as people start to travel again after the recession. For nature lovers, it is absolutely wonderful! Unforgettable, a highlight when you travel in South America.

The giant tortoise is the most famous creature on the islands. The shape of the shell (looking like a saddle) is what gives the islands their name. Marine iguana are a close second (both can only be found on the Galapagos). You can swim with dolphins, snorkel between sharks or dive with manta-rays.
