Maps - Ecuador

This is my first stop in South America. I fly into Quito. Of course being a diver there is no way I can't go over to the Galapagos Islands. They are famous because that is where Darwin did all his research on evolution. The islands are supposed to be amazing and have extraordinary animal life on & around them. The diving isnt cheap so this may be one of my more expensive trips but hey........... Has to be done !

Check out this great website on the islands including history & goelogical information. Galapagos Geology on the Web Or check out the Darwin Foundation website with its kids area all about the islands & various conservation projects running. Kids Korner	The lonely planet website will tell you lots about Ecuador& the Islands.
Galapagos Islands.net has this great map & some good information too. Ecuador also has some other very cool places to visit. The east side is in the Amazon basin and has an inland lake which has a colony of dolphins living in it at Lago Agrio so I shall definately go there.
Dont forget watch the journal or gallery for travel entries & photos'.
