Darwin's Legacy
A 15-day Galápagos cruise aboard Evolution, calling at Baltra, Isabela, Fernandina, Isabela, Bartolomé, Santiago. Spend two full weeks following the contrasts that make the Galapagos so extraordinary. The journey begins among the young lava fields of Fernandina and western Isabela, where marine iguanas gather along black shores and Galapagos penguins and flightless cormorants hunt in cold, nutrient-rich water. Bartolomé, Rábida and Santa Cruz add volcanic viewpoints, a red-sand beach and encounters with Galapagos giant tortoises in the highlands.
