See nature at its wildest and most awe-inspiring
 
Galapagos - "Like no other place on the planet".

The convergence of four separate sea currents allow the waters around the islands to support species that are just not found elsewhere in the world and being so remote, the animals have no fear of man.  Its close proximity to the equator should also make the islands extremely hot, but this is not the case. Infact, even the climate is unique - along with just about everything else on the Galapagos Islands. 
 

Day 1 - Depart London Heathrow (20.25) for overnight flight to Quito, Ecuador (via Amsterdam)
