Galápagos - The Enchanted Islands
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Check out this stunning DVOW-nominated drone video of the Galápagos Islands, compliments of contributor Santiago Uribe. A territory of Ecuador, the group consists of 18 main islands plus over 100 smaller ones, the largest of which is the island of Isabela. The islands straddle the equator, just over 900 km (around 560 mi.) from the mainland at their closest point. Famously described by Charles Darwin in his book Voyage of the Beagle, the islands are one of the world's top eco-tourism destinations.
