The Galapagos Islands were called "Las Encantadas" by the first visiting sailors as they seem to arise magically, often enveloped in fog, out of the watery nowhere after a long sail over open waters. Thus they were perfect hideouts for pirates and later sealers and whalers followed to exploit the rich hunting grounds. Naturalists became soon enchanted by them for their remote location with their particular fauna and flora. Most famous among them was of course Charles Darwin who spent one month there and afterwards reflecting on the native animals and plants came up with his revolutionary evolutionary theory of natural selection. Nowadays the Galapagos Islands continue their enchantment for many more visitors and they come from all over the world to experience their amazing natural scenery and unique wildlife.

Galapagos Islands is not for tourists who look for a tropical island beach vacation but primarily for people interested in the Galapagos island's natural history and the amazing wildlife above and below the Pacific ocean. With an open mind, you may come back with a new and better understanding of the enormous powers of our planet and what life is all about on earth only this magnificent Galapagos Islands will give you this view point..
