did you know...

The Galapagos have had several names. The name "Galapagos Islands" goes back to their accidental discovery in 1535 by Tómas de Berlanga, Bishop of Panama. In 1536 a boat with Spanish soldiers deserting the harshness of Pizarro, finding itself lost and unable to land for swirling currents and mist, called the islands "Las Islas Encantadas" (the bewitched isles). In 1892 the islands were officially renamed "Archipelago de Colon" by the Ecuadorian National Assembly to mark the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' 1st journey.

Testimonials: Laura, We can look back on a fantastic holiday. Of course it was an adventure from our side to just book a not too cheap holiday via internet. However, from the first contact on I felt comfortable with your approach and the way you treated me as a valuable customer. Especially during the trip where you took the initiative to take care that no mistakes were made on arrival of Michel and his girlfriend has been appreciated by me very much. Would be very happy to book another holiday with you but only........ Jos v, Netherlands
