The Galapagos Islands seduces people and explores from a few centuries ago because, before that, they even didn\u2019t exist. The lack of human contact for many thousands of years makes this destination a paradise of unique species in the archipelago. In particular, there are many extraordinary birds to discover in this part of the planet.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Galapagos Islands<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>are home to some of the most threatened birds in the world, on their bird species have unique behavior, because they are extremely quiet and accepting the human presence. Galapagos animals are very friendly (they don\u2019t run with the presence of humans) and they are also very different from other species found in other parts of the world.<\/p>\n

These wonderful features are unique for bird lovers and birdwatchers explorers, and for this reason, many of them travel to the Galapagos Islands to know these extraordinary birds. The best way to get to know all these species is on a 5 or 6 days cruise.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Galapagos Islands are considered a paradise for photography lovers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The second group of birds in Galapagos are the coastal birds, those that can be found in the shores of the different islands. The main Coastal Birds are Flamingos, Oystercatcher Crackers, Lava Herons, etc. They are easy to be watched, if you go to the beaches of the islands or if you go onboard a yacht.<\/p>\n

The most interesting of them are the Galapagos finches, unique among other finches in the world, which inspired the scientist Darwin.<\/p>\n
