About Galapagos
The Galapagos National Park encompasses most of the Galapagos Islands archipelago, famous for its unique wildlife that inspired Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. The park features volcanic landscapes, pristine beaches, and endemic species including giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and Darwin's finches. It represents one of the world's most important natural laboratories for studying evolution.
