Ecuador: Classic Galapagos Islands
Six hundred miles off the coast of Ecuador, surrounded by open ocean, a volcanic archipelago straddles the equator.

Home to a profuse array of wildlife, the islands offer an immersion in nature that feels primeval, where lizards and penguins and bluefooted boobies share the beaches with us, unconcerned by our presence. Herman Melville called the Galapagos Las Encantadas, or Enchanted Isles, an apt moniker for a realm that remains otherworldly, even today.
