About Galápagos Islands
The Galápagos Islands are Darwin's living laboratory—an archipelago where evolution's secrets are written in wildlife behavior. Giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, and marine iguanas exist nowhere else on earth. Tourism is carefully regulated; visitors must join guided tours on naturalist-led island hikes.
