About 620 miles from the Ecuadorian
mainland, the famous Galápagos islands are situated.
Rare and endemic animals live on the archipelago - they are
the habitants of the islands and they are in the focus of
all visitors.
Here, not human beings star but all animals like blue-footed
and red-footed boobies, albatrosses, iguanas, sea lions and
many more. Only five islands are inhabited by people.
Already Charles Darwin was impressed by these islands when
he arrived in 1835. On the isle of Santa Cruz, the “Charles
Darwin Research Station” is arranged, where special
programs try to protect and save some species of animals and
plants. |

For the people of South America,
Alexander von Humboldt is the actual discoverer of America
and not Christopher Columbus. He climbed up to many volcanoes
and mountains in South America making his way through the
continent. And still, people use the same route to get from
the north to the south - thanks to the Panamericana.
Ludwig Mario Niedermeier also describes the old town of
Quito and the little town Otavalo, which is famous for an
Indian market all over the world. The author gives tips and
information about Ecuador and for a trip to the country.
