	TRAVEL TO THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS The Galápagos Islands are famed for their vast number of endemic species and the studies by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle that contributed to the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. There are evolutionary wonders such as the Darwin finches, fur seals, flamingos, along with giant tortoises and even tropical penguins. A lot of the animals such as seals, iguanas, tortoises and birds are not afraid of people due to a lack of natural predators. You can snap pictures of these animals and have a memory for life. The Galápagos is a place where people love nature with all its biodiversity at its best. In 1959, the Galapagos National Park was established to preserve the island's natural state. The Galápagos archipelago, with a population of around 40,000, is a province of Ecuador, a country in northwestern South America, and the islands are all part of Ecuador's national park system. The principal language on the islands is Spanish. The archipelago has been known by many different names, including the "Enchanted Islands," because of the way in which the strong and swift currents made navigation difficult.
