galapagos islands

[asiagirl]

I am traveling to Ecuador in December and want to make a trip to see the Galapagos Islands. Does anyone know a cheap way to get there from Guayaquil?

I did a search on Wikitravel and it seems like flying is the cheapest option. Getting an ISIC card can save you money on the flight. For more info, check out http://wikitravel.org/en/Galapagos_islands under "Get in".

A trip to the Galapagos Island will be the journey of your lifetime. Located 1,000 km from the Ecuadorian mainland, the archipelago consist of 13 major islands, of which 5 are inhabited. Find out more about the famous Islands by taking virtual trip on the internet.

The Island's interesting volcanic geology, as well as its rich flora and fauna have been admired and studied by numerous travelers, scientist, and nature-lovers. Scientist are still faced with a mystery how such a large diversity of species could develop in a remote location like the Galapagos Islands. On the Islands, a multitude of animals, by most people only known from the Discovery Channel, are romping about: the main reason for tourists and nature lovers to pay the Galapagos Islands a visit.
