The Galápagos Islands are an archipelago of volcanic islands distributed around the equator in the Pacific Ocean, 525 miles west of continental Ecuador, of which they are a part. Wildlife is its most notable feature. The Galápagos islands and its surrounding waters form an Ecuadorian province, a national park, and a biological marine reserve. The principal language on the islands is Spanish. The islands have a population of around 23,000. The islands are geologically young and famed for their vast number of endemic species, which were studied by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle. His observations and collections contributed to the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.
It's my pleasure to say a little about my experience with Diane Ross with Kingsbridge Travel.
Our recent trip to Europe was diverse and somewhat complex. To complicate matters further,we were traveling with another couple. So many moving parts! Hotel reservations, car rentals, tours, you name it, Diane handled it all. We had a lovely, memorable trip to London, Normandy, Germany and a fabulous river cruise on the Danube with Uniworld. With Diane's help and guidance our trip went so smoothly. Traveling , as fun as it is, comes with some angst. Diane absolutely saw to it that our trip was all and more than we'd hoped for.
