M/V Eclipse - Galapagos Cruise - 8D/7N
One of Ecuador’s most valuable and most famous natural treasures is not on the mainland at all. It is the Galapagos Islands, an enchanted, volcanically formed archipelago 622 miles off of Ecuador’s Pacific coast. The Galapagos is a world unto itself composed of 13 major islands, six smaller ones and over two score of islets that became Charles Darwin’s living laboratory of evolution and inspired him to write The Origin of the Species after visiting the islands in 1835. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution emanated from this visit and the ensuing book.
