    Extractions: Perhaps the most famous visitor to Ecuador's Galapagos Islands was Charles Darwin. Aboard the HMS Beagle on a five-year voyage, Charles Darwin, at age 26, visited the Galapagos archipelago in 1835 and spent a total of five weeks there studying its natural surroundings. It was not until 1859 that his monumental work, "Origin of Species," was published. In 1854, Herman Melville wrote on his impressions about the Galapagos Islands: "Take 5 and 20 heaps of cinders dumped here and there in an outside city lot: imagine them magnified into mountains and the vacant lot the sea and you will have a fit idea of the general aspect of the Encantadas." Known as the Sistine Chapel of South America, the Cathedral La Compania of Quito, Ecuador was built by Jesuits. Construction of this magnificent cathedral began in 1605 and was completed in 1768. The front chancel is gilded with over seven tons of gold.

Twelve hours of light, twelve hours of darkness, three hundred and sixty-five days of the year. Ever since their discovery, the Galapagos Islands have been known for their giant tortoises, Geochelone elephantopus. In fact, the name Galapagos itself originates from the Spanish word, "galapago," meaning tortoise. The endemic marine iguanas. Amblyrhynchus cristatus, of the Galapagos Islands are the only iguanas in the world that feed underwater, Most of the time these tranquil but fearsome appearing creatures lie sunning themselves on lava rocks beside the sea.
