This archipelago of Pacific Ocean islands lying 1000 kilometres west of Ecuador were the inspiration of Charles Darwin's great work The Origin of Species. Having evolved without fear for man, the birds and reptiles of the Galapagos can be approached with ease; visitors snorkel with sealions, step over boobies, and eyeball giant tortoises. Only a few of the islands are inhabited and there is only a handful of hotels; tourists sleep on boats and visit one or two new islands each day.

The Galápagos islands are famed for their unique and diverse wildlife, as illustated here with full colour photographs on every page. In spite of their isolated location, their allure is such that they are a mecca for wildlife enthusiasts on what has often been called the ‘trip of a lifetime’. Galápagos Wildlife is written by experienced tour guides, who share essential tips on how to discover the best the islands can offer and fascinating background on key species.
Whether planning a voyage of discovery in the footsteps of Darwin or simply as a great souvenir of a trip, this guide will be invaluable for visitors to this magical kingdom.
