What to See in the Galápagos Islands

The Galápagos Islands are a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for wildlife found nowhere else on Earth, including giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies. The islands’ unique ecosystems famously inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution during his visit in 1835, and they remain one of the world’s premier destinations for wildlife viewing and snorkeling.
