For some people, going on holiday is a time to leave the laptop at home, switch off the cell phone and forget about the outside world. For others, the thought of being out of reach of friends and family while away is terrifying. And sometimes the demands of modern business dictate that you have to be available at the other end of a phone – wherever you are.

Plan an exotic excursion to Galapagos

Ecuador has not received quite the attention on the global stage as some other countries, but that doesn't mean it’s not known for anything. It is known for the Amazon Rainforest, Sampedrino music, chicha (corn beer), llamas, and Otavalo. But what Ecuador is best known for is, owning the Galapagos Islands. The islands are an archipelago (an island group or island chain, cluster or collection of islands) of volcanic islands distributed around the equator, located over 600 miles out into the Pacific Ocean, 972 km west of continental Ecuador. These islands are best known for their vast number of endemic species, which were studied by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle. At first, they appear to be desolate. Yet, these rough and rocky isles are home to wonderfully strange and abundant wildlife that are found nowhere else on earth. With a population of slightly over 25,000, the Island is naturally beautiful; uncluttered and undisturbed by outside interferences.
