galapagos

After Quito, we flew to the Galapagos Islands! Our trip to the Galapagos was by far one of the best vacations I’ve ever gone on in my life. We visited 3 islands, staying on the largest island, Isla Isabela. We saw just about everything: volcanoes, endemic plant species, blue footed boobies, land tortoises, sea turtles, sting rays, mantarays, penguins, pelicans, flamingos, sea lions, frigates, land iguanas, marine iguanas, tons of other birds and fish. It was amazing how close we could get to the animals. They didn’t mind human presence at all. One of my favorite parts of our trip was swimming with and playing with the sea lions. We also swam with sharks and penguins. I’ll let the pictures show you all how amazing these animals were!
