Explore The Galapagos Islands
Ticked off in April 2016
What it is
The Galápagos Islands inspired Darwin's theory of evolution and have wildlife found nowhere else, often completely unafraid of people.
How to do it
Fly from Quito or Guayaquil to Baltra or San Cristóbal. Explore on a liveaboard cruise or island-hop from Santa Cruz and Isabela.
Top tip
Bring cash for the national park entry fee, which is paid on arrival.
My experience
Ticked off, but the full story is still to be written up.
