Travel and vacation to the Galapagos Islands. In the distant 1535, the sailing ship of the Bishop of Panama, Thomas de Berlang, nailed to unknown shores, which were called "Enchanted Islands."
Later, in letters to Emperor Charles V, he spoke of the amazing islands inhabited by the rarest animals that are practically not afraid of humans.
The most amazing of them were the huge Galapagos turtles, on which an adult could climb.
For a long time there were legends that the islands drift in the fog and it is almost impossible to find them.
And only by the end of the 16th century the location of the islands was finally determined, and they became the haven of English pirates.
Galapagos Islands are islands of volcanic origin, their age is 2.5-3 million years.
The islands are located thousands of kilometers from the coast of Ecuador.
The local flora and fauna consists of rare species and endemic animals. Only here you can see colorful Galapagos penguins, iguanas and huge turtles.
The underwater world of coral reefs is populated by exotic fish and starfish.
Modern Galapagos are one of the most popular places on Earth for outdoor enthusiasts.
Almost 90% of the islands are protected and protected areas, which can only be traveled with a professional guide.
Therefore, the most attractive activities for tourists are yachting and diving.
It is best to book a yacht in advance, in a group of 6-8 people, otherwise it is possible that you will not feel the delights of "Galapagos cruises."
The natural conditions for diving are unique, but the infrastructure is not very well developed.
Therefore, only well-trained divers who have taken care of the necessary equipment in advance can enjoy scuba diving.
The most transparent and clean water awaits the tourist in November, although the climatic season of diving is considered to be the period from December to May.
