Welcome to the Galapagos Islands

The laboratory for the study of the origins of life. See the amazing creatures Darwin first saw in 1835 -- giant tortoises, sea turtles, flightless cormorants, iguanas and penguins -- and venture deep in the ocean to hot water vents connected to the core of the earth.

Turistas, vengan a las Galápagos, es una maravilla para ver y recordar, pero no se queden, porque destruirían sin darse cuenta, lo más hermoso que nos queda en este Mundo.... NO SE QUEDEN.... Vengan 1 o 2 semanas y luego regresen a sus vidas tradicionales..... Y regresen a Galápagos nuevamente en otra oportunidad... ASI SE HACE ECOLOGÍA...

My apologies, I'm in a bit of a mood.

I'm tired of hearing that the Galapagos was 'Darwins laboratory for his study for the origins of life.' It wasn't his laboratory, he didn't experiment there. The Galapagos was his inspiration, his spark. And despite popular belief, it wasn't the finches that got him thinking, it was the tortoises.

Again, my apologies for my rant, I hope I didn't upset anyone. The inhabitants of The Galapagos Islands are amazing. With luck, I'll get to visit one day.
