Why go to Galapagos, why do tourists go to the Galapagos islands and why should I go to the Galapagos islands in Ecuador?
I would actually ask: Why not go to the Galapagos islands in Ecuador? These group of islands of volcanic formation located 1000 km2 from Ecuador, has spellbinding natural landscapes and postcard views hard to match. On your visit you can get a close encounter with endemic species that you can´t find elsewhere in the world. If you like extreme sports, the islands allow visitors to do snorkelling, kayaking, scuba diving, cycling, and much more.
Why did Darwin go to Galapagos?
When Charles Darwin sailed with the HMS Beagle he was actually enthused about getting a close-up look at an active volcano. But instead, he ended up finding an incredibly diverse wildlife. After Charles Darwin´s visit to the Galapagos Islands, he developed his theoryof evolution by natural selection.
