Few wildernesses are more iconic than Galápagos--the living laboratory that inspired Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Snorkel with acrobatic sea lions, go on a photo walk to capture up-close images of blue-footed boobies, or take a ride in a glass-bottom boat for a glimpse of colorful fish--explore your way, every day.
