The infamous Galapagos Islands are located 600 miles or 70 km off the coast of South America. Located at the Equator, the Galapagos Islands are a large cluster of 6 main islands, 12 smaller islands and over 60 islets and large rocks. Sometimes called “The Enchanted Islands” or “Vacation Island,” the Galapagos support a wide array of unusual animal and plant species.
