Despite its relatively small size, Ecuador is home to the spectacular peaks of the Andes and of course the fragile but alluring Galapagos Islands. To the west of the Ecuadorian coast lie the world-famous Galápagos Islands. And these are not without reason named the last paradise on earth. Nowhere else can you experience the unique animal world so close as here, where Charles Darwin created his theory of evolution. Would you like to snorkel with sea lions? Or witness the courtship dance of the blue-footed boobies at your feet? Would you like to see giant turtles in the open? On the Galápagos Islands you will experience beautiful, absolutely unique and unforgettable moments with different animals in the middle of paradise.
Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands are a birder's dream. This famous archipelago is home to 24 endemic bird species. Nesting Waved Albatrosses, dancing boobies, displaying frigatebirds, and even the drab but fascinating finches endemic to the islands can be observed.
