The Galapagos archipelago lies approximately 1000 kilometers west of the Ecuadorian mainland coast. Over the centuries, changing ocean currents and airstreams have made it difficult for sailors to locate the islands; as a result they have become known as "the enchanted islands". Due to their remote location, the islands have been able to maintain their unique flora and fauna despite human interference and are today considered a unique paradise on earth where you can relax and share the company of diverse wildlife. The islands are one of the best places in the world to get really close to the wildlife, as most animals here have no natural enemies and behave fearlessly.
