Each of the 19 major islands in the Galápagos is home to hundreds of unique species, on of which is the Galápagos Sea Lion.
The Galápagos Islands are an archipelago of volcanic islands located about 600 miles off west of Ecuador. They are known throughout the world as the home to Darwin's finches and the famed Galápagos tortoises, as well as being called The Enchanted Islands as a result of their strong and unpredictable currents.
Owned by Ecuador, 90% of the Galápagos Islands were established as a National Park in 1959. In order to protect the park they require that all visitors be accompanied by a certified guide.
