The Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos Islands consist of 14 main islands surrounded by turquoise waters, and a magnificent variety of sands on the beaches. The sand colours range from pink to sugary white sands, volcanic black, and even olive green sand. Strange and exotic wildlife can be found here, as well as cactus forests and some awesome lagoons.

A long ago volcano in the Pacific was responsible for creating the amazing rocks you will see around the islands. The wildlife that makes their homes here arrive by either air or water, and they live peacefully without fear of being prey to larger animals, since the larger animals cannot make their way here by water or air.
