Vacations Galapagos by C.R.E.N.

The Galapagos Islands have captured the hearts and imaginations of many people for over two centuries. The history of the Galapagos Islands is turbulent and mysterious: the map was drawn by surveyors and the Galapagos Islands have been invaded by buccaneers and pirates, studied by scientists, biologists and historians, inhabited by modern Adam and Eve in the early twentieth century, and have even resulted in one or two love triangles.
