Ecuador - Galapagos

I had dreamed of visiting the Galapagos Islands* since first seeing them in a documentary when I was a boy. In 2018 my dream came true, and our visit far exceeded my expectations. We spent a week aboard a small boat, visiting carefully protected sites on Santa Cruz, Santa Fe, San Cristobal, Espanola, Floreana, Santiago and Genovesa Islands (see map). The islands are beautiful, the snorkelling is fantastic and the animals are unique and beguiling. I want to go back there! (* = UNESCO World Heritage Site)
