Este verano mi familia se va de vacaciones a las islas Galápagos, que están a 1000 kilómetros de la costa

oeste de Ecuador.

Hay 19 islas en total su clima es único debido a que están en el ecuador y a lo largo de la distancia de la
tierra.

Los galápagos mas conocidas por las tortugas gigantes, pero también hay otras 27 especies de reptiles.
Muchos de los animales en las islas son endémicos, incluyendo serpientes, pingüinos, búhos y mariposas.
También esperamos ver tortugas, delfines de ballenas y otras especies marinas. En 1835, Charles Darwin
visitó las Galápagos para estudiar animales y plantas únicos. Su trabajo allí ayudó a forjar esta teoría de la
evolución.

Es un destino popular viajaremos de Miami a quito el 30 de junio, nos quedaremos una noche allí y al día
siguiente volaremos a las Islas Galápagos. Estamos planificando muchas actividades para las vacaciones:
estamos haciendo una visita guiada por las islas en un día y un viaje en barco por otro.

Es la segunda semana que estoy tomando un curso de buceo y mi mamá y mi papá van a observar aves.
va a ser realmente emocionante

clue for Darwin as he formulated his theory of natural selection.

4. Why was Darwin’s work on the island important?
