*I would love to visit the Galapogos Islands and have been intrigued with its many species of wildlife for years. They all seem rather tame and unafraid of humans which has led to much of their downfall throughout the centuries. The Islands are a big tourist attraction now.
Here is a bit of info on The Islands -


The Galápagos islands and its surrounding waters form an Ecuadorian province, a national park, and a biological marine reserve. The principal language on the islands is Spanish. The islands have a population of around 23,000.
Wildlife is its most notable feature.

Until the early 19th century, the archipelago was often used as a hideout by mostly English pirates who pilfered Spanish galleons carrying gold and silver from South America to Spain.
