Travelers are sure to amass wonderful stories to share with friends and family for many years by visiting this island group off the South American coast. It was formed by the hardened lava which flowed from one of the world's most active volcanic ranges. The extremely eclectic menagerie of plant life and wildlife co-existing here has managed to evolve in ways that defy logic to be absolutely amazing.

The archipelago is made up of 19 separate islands with several individual islets and volcanoes. Together they created a unique combination of ecosystems that even scientists are amazed to see existing in one place. The human influence has been severely limited, although tourists are permitted to visit, there are very strict guidelines about the footprint they are allowed to leave.

One thing that makes this place so unique is that it is positioned over a range of active undersea volcanoes on the equator, which makes way for a strange mixture of climates and features to develop. The landmass is basically formed from hardened lava, so there are a number of submerged craters, a rather extensive cave network for travelers to explore, with some amazing cliffs and rock towers to view. The mixture of animal life is beyond diverse, having marine iguanas, sea turtles, hundreds of bird species, penguins, sea turtles, dolphins and the famed giant tortoises, all living together.

Nature lovers are going to marvel at the scenery, watching the activity that teams around along the coastline as an amazing variety of animals unexpectedly interacting together. Those who love to explore might enjoy trek to the remotely located mangroves, or a hike among some very impressive lava flows. Tours are guided to ensure safety, provide information, and to ensure that the beauty and integrity of these magnificent islands is preserved.

Hiking, spelunking, snorkeling, and swimming are a few of the available sporting activities on this beautiful island group. Explorers wanting to take a step back in history can seek out the old pirate hideaways. Animal lovers are sure to be thrilled at the eclectic collection of species residing together in this location.
