Galapagos Islands expedition
8 of 10
Charles Darwin made the Galapagos famous nearly 180 years ago, but tourists are still clamoring to get to the ecological mecca. Visitors with children, or those just seeking an eco-adventure, look toward the islands for a bit of history, unparalleled biodiversity, the chance to swim up to sea lions and to hike through stunning national parks.
