Galápagos Islands, Ecuador. The Garden of Eden
Description
Located some 600 miles from the South American continent in the Pacific Ocean, these 19 volcanic islands have been called a unique "living museum and showcase of evolution." The presence of unusual animal life such as the land iguana, the giant tortoise, and the many types of finches, inspired Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution, following his visit there in 1835.
