The Galapagos Islands are the crown jewel of the natural world, set along the equator, 600 miles off the west coast of South America. It is almost always sunny and the cool sea breezes create a perfect air temperature that you would not expect on the equator. In the Galapagos Islands there are crystal clear turquoise seas, beaches with pink, volcanic black, powdery white and olive-green sands, mangrove lagoons and cactus forests. A marine paradise of staggering diversity awaits, with coral reefs teeming with kaleidoscopic fish, graceful sea turtles gliding effortlessly through the water, and majestic hammerhead sharks patrolling the depths. Above the surface, the islands are a sanctuary for an astonishing array of wildlife, much of which is found nowhere else on Earth. Giant tortoises, renowned as the islands' iconic inhabitants, lumber slowly through the highlands, while prehistoric-looking marine iguanas bask on black lava rocks.
