A world of wildlife
The ‘Enchanted Islands’ of the GALAPAGOS, Darwin’s ‘Living Laboratory’, rank at the top of most people’s bucket lists. Home to an amazing menagerie of wildlife, the archipelago is the world’s number one destination for wildlife, the indigenous animals so fearless of humans that intimate, magical encounters are guaranteed. Each of the 19 ‘Enchanted Islands’ has its own distinctive look and inhabitants. Starting next March, Silversea’s ‘Silver Galápagos’ expedition ship (silversea. com) will alternate two new, sevennight itineraries, both with trips ashore offering up-close encounters with an abundance of wildlife. This could include sun-basking land iguanas, giant tortoises, marine iguanas, sea lions, penguins and Darwin’s famous finches. From £6,549pp, including flights.
