Q5.
The Galapagos are rich in exotic fauna. Most species of birds, the sea lion, the sea iguana and gigantic
tortoises, that live over a hundred years, are not found anywhere else in the world but there. The Galapagos
tortoise can weigh up to 250 kg and tourists come to the islands specially to see them. No wonder that the
tortoise became the symbol of the islands. And the name of Galapagos comes from the Spanish word
‘tortoise’.
Q6.
Tourism in the Galapagos is a fast developing industry. The number of people who come here for diving,
animal watching, and exploring lava tunnels is growing each year. It is obvious that uncontrolled human
activity could spoil the unique natural features. Because of this risk, the islands were declared a national
park and the flow of tourists is limited.
Q7.
The Galapagos Islands offer a kind of vacation and entertainment everyone would find unforgettable.
While parents can enjoy the boat rides and beaches, children would be absolutely happy to see the blue-
footed birds and amazing tortoises or to find out about pirates and hidden treasure. Hotels and sports
facilities are of a high quality, though they are rather expensive.
