Introduction to the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

This week's travel inspiration takes us to the Galapagos Islands! Have you ever wanted to travel to a place where wildlife does not have much fear of humans? Where you can see species that exist nowhere else on earth? Where plants and animals have adapted over thousands of years, such that there are even species differences between individual islands? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then the Galapagos Islands is a great place to put on your bucket list!

Crystal clear waters in the Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands are located about 600 miles from mainland Ecuador in northern South America (in fact, one of the islands crosses the equator), and they are part of the country of Ecuador. This is where Charles Darwin came up with his theory of Evolution in the 1800s, when he saw differences in the same animal species between the islands.

Marine iguanas sunbathing in the Galapagos Islands

Some of the most common animals you'll see include marine iguanas, other lizards, sea lions, many birds, turtles and tortoises. If you're into snorkeling and/or diving, you'll have a chance to see an amazing and colorful variety of fish as well.

You can visit the Galapagos Islands as part of a cruise between islands, or by making your home base on one of the islands and traveling to other islands from there. The options are limitless. The more time you have to spend here, the more you can explore on your own time. I'll give you more Galapagos information coming up in a few more weeks; there's just too much to pack into one email. Hopefully this information is enough to get you interested in seeing all that the Galapagos Islands can deliver.

Until next week,

Marisa

Champagne Traveling celebrates Endangered Species Day. It seems like only yesterday day we landed in Ecuador before continuing to our adventures in the Galapagos. We were fortunate to see and swim with the Galapagos penguins. They are an amazing endangered species. Hopefully, they are thriving with less visitors and disturbances.

Picking just one of the Galapagos Islands to visit above the others is an almost impossible task. With so many incredible places to see in the archipelago, any tour of the Galapagos should take in as many as possible.

So, on that basis, consider this blog about Bartolome as a one of a series of posts about the best Galapagos Islands to visit.

Traveling the Galapagos Islands by Cruise

Last week, I told you a little bit about the lovely Galapagos Islands, one of my favorite places to really get up close and personal with some unique wildlife. This week, I'm going to focus on visiting the Galapagos Islands via cruise ship.

One of the largest cruise ships in the Galapagos Islands

Cruising the Galapagos Islands is a lot different than cruising in the Caribbean or elsewhere. The ships in the Galapagos Islands are generally limited to not more than 100 passengers on any ship, and some are much smaller. The waters of the Galapagos Islands can be rather turbulent, and you will definitely feel it aboard a ship. I'm sometimes prone to sea sickness myself and I was mostly fine on the cruise. But, I did bring along sea sickness medication and it helped on a couple of occasions early into the 4 day cruise that I experienced.

Nesting albatrosses; I wouldn't have seen them unless I took a cruise

Some of the things I absolutely love about a cruise through the Galapagos Islands:

The cruise ships have already planned the itinerary for you.

The naturalist guides who accompany you know the islands and animals very well

Your food and beverage needs are taken care of (and they can accommodate special dietary needs if you let them know in advance)

Shipboard activities are already pre-planned; no need to worry that you will get bored during "down time."

Transportation between islands is easy and included (you're already on the boat!)

No need to switch hotels just because you move onto a different island.

No cleaning up after yourself - the ship is your floating hotel.

You can visit islands that are completely free of human populations!

Groups are small in size; you'll never feel "lost" in a big crowd.

You can cruise anywhere from 3 days up to several weeks.

Cruises are a great option for families, individuals, couples, friend groups, and more.

Next week, I will discuss the option of island hopping and how it differs from cruising in the Galapagos Islands.

Until next week,

Marisa

This is a Lava Cactus. We found it on Sullivan Bay on Santiago Island in the Galapagos. The volcanic island named after Bartholomew James Sullivan. He was the first lieutenant on HMS Beagle, the ship that brought Charles Darwin to the Galapagos. The landscape formed only 150 years ago is quite eerie yet stunning. Hence Sullivan Bay is the perfect place to see and feel the volcanic origin of Galapagos. There is not much plant life on this island, in fact the island seems moon like, but we saw this beautiful cactus! @galagentsgalapagoscruises #galapagosislands #galapagos #cactus🌵 #santiagoisland #plantlovers #plantlove #lovenature💚 #retireearlyandtravel #earlyretirement #travelwithus #galapagoscruise #travelnow #travellovers #lovetraveling #travelmore #worldtravel #ecuador🇪🇨 #visitecuador #loveecuador #islandsofadventure #islandvibes #volcanic #bucketlisttravel #privatetour #experiences #daytrips #naturescape #darwin #charlesdarwin #galapagosisland (at Santiago Island (Galápagos)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9MWNjBp9S0/?igshid=ooazq526edr0

Love this sea lion photo by: • @anbusiello Sea Lion puppy resting on a beach in Floreana Island. - Baby sea lions weigh about 13-20 pounds and are 2.5 feet long when they are born. A full grown male sea lion can weigh up to 800 pounds and can be up to 8 feet long. - The average lifespan of the sea lion is about 20 years, but occasionally they can live all the way to 30 years. Their age can be determined by counting  the layers in their teeth, just like the rings in a tree trunk are used to determine the tree age. - Most people make confusion between sea lions and seals. They are two different animals. Here 3 differences to help recognize them. Sea lions have visible ear flaps. Sea lions walk on land using their large flippers while seals bounce on their bellies. Sea lions  bark loudly while seals are quieter, vocalizing via soft grunts.
