Galápagos, the best sustainable place
The Galapagos Islands are a national park inhabited by humans only 3%. For that reason, most of the areas are well naturally preserved. Now the islands received the prize to the best sustainable place in the American continent, at the gala of the ITB Berlin on March 6, 2019. Galapagos was categorized as “Green Destinations”.
Considered a living laboratory, in this place was rediscovered a giant tortoise declared extinct a century ago; Recently, a new hammerhead shark breeding center was discovered on the islands; the population of these sharks is really low and finding a place like this gives the species more chance to survive.
Principal Characteristics
The Galapagos Islands are developed on the basis of volcanic eruptions that have been occurring for centuries and are constantly occurring these days. The whole place is the result of volcanic activity. Landscapes made of lava and a combination of fire and water create tunnels and lava flows, considered as otherworldly landscapes.
The constant volcanic activity has an impact on the ecosystem consequently allows species to be constantly born and evolve. The Galapagos Islands are the place where scientist Charles Darwin gets inspired by his theory on the evolution of species. The theory is based on the characteristics that some finches and animals show in contrast from the islands; In the islands, the species adapt to the ecosystem by changing parts of their bodies; Also adapt their capacities to survive in the environment.
The Islands are part of the Galapagos National Park and have a lot of restrictions to preserve the ecosystem. For that reason, knowing and finding the species could be a very difficult goal to achieve if it is not done properly. If you want to know more species and discover hidden places, the best way to do it is through an incredible cruise experience.
GALAGENTS S.A. offers cruises from 4 to 8 days, where the only concern is to enjoy the islands.
