Visual Adventure: The Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands are a wild life enthusiast’s dream, made up of an archipelago of volcanic islands at the Equator, in the Pacific Ocean, west of Ecuador. Whether it’s the gentle and curious demeanor of a young sea lion or the dramatic wing flapping and whistle of a blue-footed booby, you’re sure to be in awe of the close contact experienced on the islands.

The islands themselves are diverse from the red sand beach of Baltra to the Prickly Pear cactus dotted shores of Santa Fe. Islands like Santiago with its striking giant lava formations and Bartolome with it’s red and black volcanic landscape make you feel as if you’re on another planet.

It’s one of those trips that make you feel privileged just having experienced it.
