“Hikers Follow Darwin’s Steps
There aren’t many places where it is possible to find such a variety of plant and animal species, some found nowhere else on Earth, and to clearly see how they have adapted to a unique, isolated environment over thousands of years.”

GALAPAGOS - A DISPLAY OF EVOLUTION

The Galapagos Archipelago consists of thirteen large islands (greater than 10 km2), six smaller islands, and over forty islets that have official names. The Archipelago is well isolated from other land masses (South America, 960 km, Cocos Island 720 km, Central America 1,100 km). The total land area is 7,882 square kilometers within a marine reserve of 45,000 square kilometers.

Galapagos Explorer II Built in 1990, with an overall length of 89.35 m and reaching 17 knots, the M/V Galapagos Explorer II is the most elegant of the vessels cruising the Galapagos’ waters. Designed to provide both comfort and scientific information to 100 passengers visiting the Galapagos National Park, this vessel travels up to the remotest islands of the Archipelago.

The M/V GALAPAGOS EXPLORER II was part of the International Cruise Line “Renaissance” and operates in the Galápagos Islands since February 1998. It is not only a vessel adapted to the eco-tourism operations that provides environmental education and interpretation on the Galapagos, it also has all the installations and necessary services to guarantee guided experiences on the islands.
