"Galapagos" Galápagos Islands by easterntrekker

Galápagos Islands Travel Guide: 1,001 reviews and 4,014 photos

So much to tell ......I't really is impossible. But here is a diary of our adventure.

There is no where I know of in the world where you can be so up close and personal with all animals. ...and they have so much to teach us!!
It is a revelation to see how when wild animals are not hunted by man or beast they respond in the most beautiful way. So innocent and trusting.

Our adventure was on the 20 passenger Letty for a 7 night cruise..20 of us travers came together to experience this enchanting place . We shared experiences , pictures laughs and wonders. And we left friends.

The ship was great, good food , fabulous service , friendly staff and wonderful guides!!

You may be one of the lucky ones to have seen nature mostly undisturbed. So many unique species here, like 30,000 different no where else on earth of plants and animals.
