Choose the Galapagos Islands for your next family vacation

Visiting the Galapagos Islands offers visitors a chance to see one of the most protected places on earth. These islands have long been a nature preserve, and as such there are many regulations about what tourists can and cannot do. As a result, the animals are very friendly and the environment is pristine. Of the 19 islands in this archipelago, only some are open to tourists.
