A remote volcanic archipelago best known for its incredible wildlife, it took Charles Darwin’s 1859 work, On The Origin of the Species, to really put the Galapagos Islands on the map. As the area emerged into the public eye, the Galapagos became a protected site, with 97 per cent of its landmass given National Park status in 1959, and additional UNESCO designations bestowed in 1978.
