Galapagos - A Natural Selection
|
A visit to the Galapagos Islands is the quintessential natural history experience. On these remote islands, scattered across the equator in the Pacific Ocean, species of plants, birds, reptiles, and marine organisms thrive; many of which live nowhere else on Earth. World Discovery Safaris invites you to explore the Galapagos, Earth’s “living laboratory,” where wildlife roams freely, fearless of visitors.
Almost all the reptiles and half of the species of plants and birds found throughout this archipelago are found only here. Contemplate prehistoric land-iguanas, 600-pound giant tortoises, and 13 species of finches, each with a distinct beak adaptation which led to Darwin’s theory of evolution. Marvel at marine iguanas, lava lizards, and flightless cormorants. Hike ancient lava flows and enjoy the crazy courtship dance of blue-footed boobies, watch puffed-up crimson-throated frigate birds show off for their mates, gaze, awestruck, at hundreds of waved albatrosses and ponder the world’s pinkest flamingos. Slip into a sea kayak and explore hidden tide pools, mangrove forests, red, black, and green sand beaches, and the hardened lava fields smeared into the edges of the islands’ pristine shores. Put on a mask and snorkel and enter the delicate balance of life under water. Swim back and forth across the equator with sea lions that perform an underwater ballet. Only in the Galapagos can you snorkel with a penguin on the Equator.
