The majority of Galapagos animals are unique in the world and can only be seen in this group of beautiful islands.

Animals here are unafraid of man and so different from any others around the world... Only in the Galapagos Islands.

Just think of me as your friend and personal holiday guide.

The Galapagos and its wonderful nature makes you feel as if you are part of it all.

This beautiful territory is yet waiting for you to be discovered.

Extensive information about Ecuador (country to which the Galapagos Islands belong) is also covered on this Site.

Sometimes the Galapagos Islands become invisible, almost illusory at short distances, particularly in the dense veil of early morning.



Remember the waters surrounding the islands are a bit cold for tropical standards. This produces a fine mist (aka, garua) as cool air invades warmer patches of air. Thus, an early fog can be quite deceiving at telling what's ahead.

This is how the islands picked up the name of "Las Encantadas" which means (Enchanted).

Islands that suddenly appeared, as the mist evaporated, and islands that disappeared as the mist engulfed them.

The Galapagos islands were visited by Charles Darwin in 1835 and it is also the place where you will have a truly relaxing and amazing time exploring through the main 13 major islands and 6 smaller ones.

Galapagos beaches are just stunning with white and shine sands, dark and solid rocks, unique landscapes and deep crystal clear waters.

Experience diving, swimming or snorkeling with playful sea lions and watching friendly sharks cruise six feet under you. Also you can have the opportunity to learn from Galapagos Culture and its friendly people.

For many visitors, coming to Galapagos Islands is a dream come true. Many have dreamed for many years about this island paradise.

These islands are called a "tropical desert" Weather oddities are set by a complex system of currents:

• South Equatorial Current
• Cromwell Current
• Peruvian (Humboldt) Current
• El Niño Current

South-east trade winds are the prevailing winds. Galapagos lies at a storm-free belt in the tropics.

In fact, their original motivations were probably the documentaries of nature's classical enthusiasts like Jacques Cousteau or David Attenborough. Of course, expectations are high, more so know that magazines and the Internet bring destinations closer to any potential traveler.

And, in order to understand the magic of land-related events, there's a simple concept to understand: the Sea is the most important vector for the survival of the many land-related species.

With this in mind, the marine features in the Islands are protected, and thus named the Galapagos Marine Reserve (Americas' largest at 130,000 Km2) and it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

The marine highlights hold a unique feature for the Galapagos island: it is the only place on Earth that compacts tropical water fish, subtropical water fish, sea lions and even penguins. Where else?

The Galapagos are an invitation to a marine realm full of surprises, highly educational, and complete with unforgettable memories.

...So come along with me and re-discover the mystery and romance of these exotic, ever-changing ecological paradise comprised in the Galapagos Islands.
