The Galapagos Islands

14 small islands make up The Galapagos Islands

Located just some about 600 miles from the mainland of Ecuador, South America are the Galapagos Islands. A magical place like none other on earth. You will find a visit to these islands personally rewarding,an educational opportunity, and an enchanting travel exerience.

Here you will find birds that cannot fly, huge tortoises, and sea lions that tease and play like puppies in the warm water.

The Galapagos wildlife are completely unafraid of human visitors. And for this reason the number of visitors allowed each year is limited in an effort to protect the fragile environmental and ecological balance. The most practical method of visiting the Galapagos Islands is by cruise ship. The M/V Galapagos Legend offers 3, 4 and 7-night cruises to choose from and these cruises can be easily combined with visits to other South American destinations.
