The
Galapagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador, have captured
the hearts and imaginations of people for the past two centuries. The
Galapagos Islands have been visited by buccaneers and pirates, studied
by scientists, biologists, and historians. Now, it's your turn to
travel to Galapagos and discover the enchanted islands.
A vacation in the Galapagos Islands is
a dream came true. The Galapagos Islands are blessed with pleasant
weather all year round, which means that there is no "better" time to
visit those precious Islands where you can see playful seals, elegant
albatrosses, fiery red Sally Light-foot Crabs, and sneaky Friate birds.
If you travel to Galapagos you can see the wonders of the underwater
world. Imagine a realm where penguins swim in equatorial seas, and
iguanas are found eating their algae meal submerged in the saltwater.
Imagine dolphins leaping about in phosphorescent water and becoming the
new friend of a playful sea lion pup. Imagine scuba diving with
graceful sea turtles, wouldn t it be amazing? Each island has a lot of
things to see and you won t want to miss anything. Travel to Galapagos
and spend your holiday cruising to the west side of Isabella Island to
see the flightless cormorant. On Tower Island you can enter a forest of
mangroves where colonies of great frigate birds nest. On Santiago
Island you can the grottos, which are deep pools of clean water where
you can encounter fur sea lions. On Santa Cruz Island you can watch the
scenery change as you go through all seven vegetation zones found in
Galapagos, and you can also see the tunnels , the largest lava tubs
found in Galapagos. And after lunch at a highland ranch, we visit the
Charles Darwin Research Station. There is fun for everyone.
If you wonder what to bring when you travel
to Galapagos, here are some useful tips. When packing for a
trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands you should pack lightly! If
you bring few things your trip will be more carefree and enjoyable, but
you have to bring things which are necessary. You should pack your
clothes in two bags: one with warmer clothes and city clothes that can
be left in your hotel in Quito, and a separate bag for storage of your
gear aboard the boat in Galapagos. You should carry sun glasses, sun
block, light cotton pants, and for snorkeling, mask, wetsuit and
snorkel. Don t forget to bring binoculars, water bottles, flashlight,
insect repellent, Pepto Bismol, Tylenol, band aids, walking shoes,
swimwear, umbrella, and of course, your camera.
Finally, if you just want to rest and
relax, you can spend your Galapagos vacations on one of the four
islands that have hotels and accommodation for all budgets. You can
find here only the best quality accommodations that provide friendly
service, good food and are located in safe surroundings close to
tourist destinations.
