Galápagos Islands, Ecuador

Galápagos is one of the world's most popular wildlife attractions, as well as one of the most picturesque islands. This remarkable archipelago, located 621 miles off the coast of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean, is made up of 18 main islands, three smaller islands, and over 100 islets. Galápagos is one of the few places on the planet where you may view nature in its natural state. The majority of the islands have never been visited by humans.

The Galápagos Islands have the greatest level of endemism on the planet. Galápagos tortoises, marine iguanas, Galápagos fur seals, Galápagos penguins, and Galápagos hawks are only a few of the Galápagos Islands' indigenous species. Such distinctive, unafraid creatures can't be found anywhere else.

Galápagos is recognized for its beautiful beaches with white sand and azure blue oceans, in addition to its biodiversity. You can go snorkeling, swimming, and kayaking there and have an amazing time. The pollution-free, tranquil environment of Galápagos could captivate your attention more than anything else.
