22. The Galapagos Islands
Ecuadorian Island, Pacific Ocean
"A living museum and showcase of evolution", the Galapagos Islands are one of the most magnificent natural environments on the planet. Formed millions of years ago by a series of volcanic explosions, the islands emerged from the waters of the Pacific Ocean. The isolated location of the islands, paired with their unique creation, lead to the development of incredibly unusual animal and marine life that can be found nowhere else on Earth.
The Galapagos are so mystifying that even the famous Charles Darwin used them as an inspiration to write his Theory of Evolution. The islands' popularity has skyrocketed in recent decades, with over 200,000 visitors coming to see the walking birds, swimming lizards, giant tortoises, and much more. If you're an animal lover, then there is no place more magical than the Galapagos.
