Trip Overview
Six hundred miles off the coast of Ecuador, surrounded by open ocean, a volcanic archipelago straddles the equator. The Galápagos Islands, forged of black lava and named for the giant tortoises that are among the most noted inhabitants, are like nowhere else in the world. Home to a profuse array of wildlife, the islands offer an immersion in nature that feels primeval, where lizards and penguins and blue-footed boobies share the beaches with us, unconcerned by our presence. Herman Melville called the Galápagos, las encantadas, or enchanted isles, an apt moniker for a realm that remains otherworldly, even today.
