Trips From The Beginning Of Time Galapagos Holidays For An Adventure With A Difference

Fed up with package deals, all-inclusive boredom or fighting for that stamp-sized

piece of beach with towels and dirty looks? There are other things in this world than holiday resorts. Take the Galapagos Islands, for example. The most famous (and least inhabited) islands on Earth, where Charles Darwin first started to formulate the theory that changed the way humanity thinks about the history of life, are open for business. Galapagos holidays offer visitors a chance to delve into the rich and varied story of life on Earth, all from the luxury of the most incredibly appointed boats available in Ecuadorian waters.

Galapagos holidays are a genuine example of that most evanescent of holidays a trip with a difference. Generally speaking (no matter what the ads might claim), theres no difference between any tour, package or otherwise. Galapagos holidays, though, claim such an astonishing location as their piece de resistance that it practically doesnt matter what the rest of the tour is like. Though (again, generally speaking) the tours tied up with Galapagos holidays are usually outstanding in every way.

So what is it about Galapagos holidays that make them so special? The nature lover should be able to answer that question in advance. The Galapagos Islands reputedly contain such a diversity of species that they are, rightly or wrongly, considered to be a microcosm of the development of life on our planet. When Darwin visited in the early 19th century (the famous Voyage of the Beagle spent some time in the waters around the islands), he noticed that there were species of finch that seemed peculiar not just to the region, but to individual islands. The same birds appeared on different islands, but with noticeably different bill structures as though there was one type of the same finch species for each rocky outcrop. Thus began the long process of thinking and writing that culminated in the publication of the book that changed the world Darwins Origin of Species, which dismantled the mysteries of evolution and showed humanity how an astonishing micro-universe like the Galapagos Islands was possible. And thats what one gets, on Galapagos holidays that same feeling of amazement, linked to the whole history of modern scientific thought on the biggest question of all: What is Life?

Galapagos holidays, then, make a statement that pretty much no other destination on Earth can give. Astonishing wildlife, scenery so dramatic your hair will stand on end for weeks: and a direct link to the closest answer human kind yet has to the questions of where it came from and how it got here. Now thats a trip with a difference. Galapagos holidays are the ultimate wild safari, the ultimate ride back in time: and a chance to get closer to the origin of things than a person can do anywhere else on the globe.

So maybe its time to shed the predictable for the incredible. Galapagos holidays arent for the couch potato: but for anyone bored of the same old getaway routine, they could just be the answer they were looking for.
