One of the most pristine locations on the entire planet is the Galapagos Islands, which are virtually undeveloped and untouched by humans. The Galapagos offer dozens of bird species, many of which are only found in the Galapagos. From Frigatebird species to Penguins, to Boobies, the Galapagos has some amazing wild birds, many of which were studied by Charles Darwin himself - some of which bear his name - including the Darwin Finches.

 

The most popular and franly the only way to reach the Galapagos Islands is via boat or cruise ship. There are small nature cruises offered by a few cruise lines, Galapagos Catamaran tours, private yacht charters, and a number of other adventure travel companies offering several packages.

 

One of the most popular tours to the Galapagos Islands, where you can see wild bird species is on a cruise tour that also includes a trip to Peru and Machu Picchu. These tours are for the adventurous type, and although they can be a bit on the expensive side, the trip is well worth it. An experience travel guide will take you around and help you identify the bird species as well as the other Galapagos animals.

 

Bird watching in the Galapagos Islands is the trip of a lifetime!
