Galapagos Location
Location: 600 miles West of the Ecuadorian coast
The islands are located to 965 kilometers of the Ecuadorian coasts. They were declared National Park by the Government of Ecuador in 1936 to preserve the flora and the fauna of the 13 great islands, 6 smaller islands and more than 40 small islands that conform the archipelago.
Origin: The islands appeared from lava eruptions that came from the bottom of the ocean and that rise as much as 2.600 feet above sea level. Lava from more than 2.000 craters has continuously altered the terrain of the region. Some of the younger islands still have active volcanoes. Variables such as isolation, climate, altitude and texture of the land on the islands, have made their distinct vegetation and animal life appear.
