Why is Galápagos different from other places?
The Galápagos Islands are located in the Pacific Ocean where three currents meet, forming a remarkable area in the sea in which warm and widely different degrees of cold water encounter. This natural occurrence results in crystal-clear blue waters that surround the islands and support diverse sea life.
Not only is this place magical and dazzling but it also contains the most precious things an island could have, which is its exceptional flora and fauna. The Galápagos Islands are famous for so many different things, including their giant tortoises on Isabela, marine iguanas on Fernandina, blue-footed boobies nesting on North Seymour, and 17 other land/marine species found nowhere else in the world.

A very protected area
Compared to other vacation spots, the Galápagos Islands are much more than a beach destination or snorkel with animals; the Galápagos National Park protects 97% of these Islands.

The Galápagos National Park has particularly prepared and certified guides that make you company during the excursions, they must be Galapagos Island inhabitants in order to work there.
