If the overwhelm of choosing a destination, activities, hotels, and restaurants is what's stopping you from booking your next trip, then it's time for an adventure. See for yourself why the Galapagos Islands' mystery has stood the test of time and continue to intrigue explorers.
Located 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands are estimated to have formed around four to five million years ago, human contact with this remote archipelago is much more recent.
As one of the biggest islands in the archipelago, and the most populous, Santa Cruz offers a wealth of contrasting experiences. As the main population center of the islands, the little town of Puerto Ayora presents a different face of the Galapagos, too. Here, humans share their space with animals, and there’s a wonderfully laid-back atmosphere.
These islands offer an abundance of natural wonders and wildlife, including giant tortoises, sea lions, and countless bird species that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. In addition, the islands are far enough away from each other that both plant and animal species could not easily migrate, and over time adapted to their environment, with several becoming endemic to a specific island.
While it may not be easy to get to the Galapagos Islands- it is worth it. The journey makes it the perfect milestone occasion celebration. Even with large group like wedding party or family reunion, a cruise is one of the easiest ways to all travel the world together.
Your cruise to the Galapagos Islands is also a great excuse to visit the mainland of Ecuador. Typically your cruise will depart from Quito or include neighboring countries like Peru. Your itinerary can be as long or adventurous as you chose.
