Pictures of Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos islands are located approximate 600 miles west of the coast of Ecuador in South America.

Many of the animals on the Galapagos Islands have developed into different species from their continental relatives, and because they have never experienced man as a predator, they show no fear of humans.

	Galapagos fish are a wonderful attraction underwater. Snorkeling is a recommended activity to admire the beauty of Galapagos marine wonders.
	Hammerhead sharks inhabit the waters of Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos shark is a protected species and are present in large numbers at close range to divers.
	Underwater Galapagos is for the wildlife lover. The islands provide as many surprises as it does on land. Dive among friendly sharks and playful sea lions.
	Sea kayaking is a wonderful recreation that you can practice in the Galapagos. Some cruises and hotels will provide the equipment for this activity.
