Galapagos Islands

It is a saying that great things are often embedded in small packets. This very popular saying is clearly reflecting all that Galapagos Islands have to offer.

This particular group of tiny islands comes into existence after the volcanic eruptions that sit just off the equator. The beauty and vividness of these beautiful islands have captured numerous hearts worldwide. Importantly, from a scientific viewpoint, as these islands were instrumental in Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, the Galapagos today, is a nature wonderland.
