The Galapagos Islands
are unique in the world. Thousands of tourists from
all over the world arrive to the Galapagos each year
to visit the famous enchanted islands. These volcanic
islands are so special because they hold some of the
most interesting animal species in world. They are very
different than any other place you have visited because
you can actually see the species in their natural habitat.
Furthermore, it is an important place for scientific
investigations especially because of its endemic species
like the marine iguanas, the blue footed boobies, the
fragatas, among others, and the differences between
plant and animal population from island to island. In
the Galapagos Charles Darwin developed his Theory of
Evolution. Truly the Galapagos Islands are one of those
places that you have to visit at least once in your
lifetime.
They are located in the Pacific Ocean,
1000 kilometers (600 miles) off the coast of Ecuador
and they are composed by sixty islands and islets. In
1959, the Ecuadorian government declared them a protected
area. At the same time, the Charles Darwin Foundation
was created. Also, the UNESCO declared the Galapagos
Islands a Natural Heritage Site.

Souci offers the best two options to visit the Galapagos
Islands aboard the finest cruise liners in Ecuador.
