GALAPAGOS ISLANDS, ECUADOR
To see the Galapagos is to fall in love at first sight. Playful sea lions, curious crabs, indifferent marine iguanas, dancing blue-footed boobies and lethargic giant tortoises – they all welcome you into their world.
The animals capture your heart by trusting and showing no fear, all a part of the magical Galapagos experience that you'll never forget.
Like few places on earth, the Galápagos island ecosystem is still largely intact, a big reason why UNESCO declared it as a World Heritage Site, and also why photographers flock here to see and photograph the strange and wonderful creatures that call Galápagos home.
There's just no other place in the world like Galápagos. It will spoil you forever...
