The ecosystem of the Galapagos is like no other on the planet. Darwin recognized its uniqueness when we developed his theories on the origin of species. For those lucky enough to make the trip, the experience of not just seeing, but being with the local fauna so close that you have to back away rather than step closer, is one that is hardly found elsewhere. And this whole experience is prefaced by an amazing journey from the capital Quito down the “avenue of the volcanoes” on the mainland itself.
