\"G<\/a>Although cruises are often equated with stereotypical beach destinations like Mexico and Hawaii, those in search of a truly unique experience might gravitate toward a tour of the Galapagos Islands. Made famous thanks to a variety of wildlife species, many of which were studied in-depth by Charles Darwin, the Galapagos Islands are a bucket-list destination for anyone who wants to travel off the beaten path.<\/p>\n

For travel agents, there is no better recommendation for intrepid travelers than a\u00a0G Adventures cruise<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0aboard the aptly-named Evolution.<\/p>\n

Why Galapagos?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"GNineteen islands make up the archipelago known as Galapagos, a remote destination in the heart of the Pacific Ocean. Although it doesn’t receive many visitors each year, those who are lucky enough to explore the area are privy to everything from giant tortoises to pristine landscapes.<\/p>\n

For those interested in natural history or science, the flora, fauna and scientific facilities make the islands an incredible spot to visit. Since travel to the Galapagos Islands is restricted, adding it to your travel itinerary is an exclusive privilege that will set you apart from other travelers.<\/p>\n

The Connection Between Darwin and Galapagos<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is impossible to visit the Galapagos Islands without understanding its connection to Charles Darwin. He spent years aboard the Beagle, a ship that left England in order to survey the coasts of South America.<\/p>\n

While in the Galapagos Islands, Darwin studied tortoises, birds and more in order to develop his instrumental theory about evolution. Galapagos Tortoises, and their numerous variations, served as proof of his theories, and his work \u201cOrigin of the Species\u201d detailed the animals he encountered while in the Galapagos Islands.<\/p>\n

Even today, travelers can visit the Charles Darwin Foundation in order to learn more about the region’s ecology.<\/p>\n

Destinations You’ll Discover<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"GOn\u00a0a seven-day cruise<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on the ship Evolution, you’ll be able to tour the western and central islands that make up the Galapagos Islands.<\/p>\n

On Baltra, you can soak up the sun on a sandy beach or snorkel among sea lions at the nearby Eden Islet.<\/p>
