Islas Galápagos

The Galápagos Islands are a remote archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, about 1,000 kilometers off the coast of Ecuador. Known for their unique and diverse wildlife, these islands are home to species found nowhere else on Earth, such as giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies. Their isolation has allowed evolution to create extraordinary adaptations. The islands are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, protected for their ecological importance. They attract scientists and tourists alike, offering a rare opportunity to observe natural evolution and some of the planet's most distinctive creatures in their natural habitat.
