Emerging from the depths of underseas volcanos still erupting today, the magical, mystical, world-reknowned Archipelago of the Galapagos Islands is a must for anyone visiting Ecuador. Walk the same steps and see the same animals that inspired Charles Darwin's "Origin of the Species." As one visitor put it, "It's like walking through a zoo without cages where the animals are neither agressive nor afraid." Because of the Galapagos' spectacular scenery and its variety of flora and fauna, UNESCO declared the Galapagos a World Heritage site, the top of the triumverate of World Heritage sites in Ecuador, along with Quito and Cuenca. There are only 651 sites in the world with such a distinction.
