The Galapagos Islands are a part of Ecuador. They are located in the Pacific Ocean approximately a thousand kilometers from South America. Galapagos Islands arose from the bottom of the ocean in form of astounding volcanic disturbances.
The archipelago comprises of a total of nineteen islands (six small and 13 large) and dozens of rocks and islets that cover a small area of a vast region that extends 45,000 square kilometers.
