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.

A Galapagos cruise is waiting for you, Live your dreams, travel to Galapagos, take one of many Galapagos tours, experience evolution first hand.

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.

Where are the Galapagos Islands Located?

This alluring and complex ecosystem is located 1,000 Km (600 miles) off the coast of the country of Ecuador in the Northwest side of South America. Check the Map of Galapagos Islands

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 now that magazines and the Internet bring destinations closer to any potential traveler. Galapagos Travel

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.
