The Galápagos Islands are mere specks in a vast expanse of ocean. Charles Darwin visited here in 1835 and every visitor since has been spellbound by the diversity, uniqueness and tameness of the Galápagos wildlife.
The islands lie approximately six hundred miles off the coast of Ecuador. All are of volcanic origin and have just two seasons - the hot or wet season runs from January to early May with an average temperature of 28°C (82°F), and the cool or dry season from May to December has an average of 18°C (64°F).
The landscape is surprisingly varied and can be both stark and beautiful. But it's the wildlife that will probably leave the most lasting impression: marine iguanas, penguins, crabs, sea lions, albatrosses, Darwin's finches, frigate birds, geckos, boobies, giant tortoises and much, much more.
With this in mind, the following holidays allow you to experience mother-nature at her best.
