The Darwin finch, obviously named after Charles Darwin,
was an important element of his studies about
evolution.
Blue-footed boobies are
probably the second most well-known inhabitant of the Galapagos
Islands, second to the Galapagos tortoise. Since they are not afraid of
humans you can get really close to take beautiful pictures.
This Galapagos pelican is busy watching the
tourists pass by from his perch at the waters edge.
These pictures were all taken from either a tour boat or along a normal
walking trail. You can take
pictures of Ecuador like these in person by participating in a photo
tour in the Galapagos.
This is the kind of tour boat
that you can arrange from Quito or
directly from the Galapagos Islands at a very low cost.
Once you are living in Ecuador you will be able to fully explore the
Galapagos Islands, and at a very reasonable price!
