The Galápagos Islands, inspiration of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, is considered the world’s top destination for wildlife viewing. Its isolation shelters a wealth of plant and animal diversity—often found nowhere else—including technicolor birds and giant tortoises among sandy beaches and solidified lava flows.
