Hola David:

Ir a Galápagos siempre vale la pena si realmente te gustan los destinos de conservación y exóticos, ya que Galápagos tiene mucha variedad de animales marinos y terrestres que viven en sus espacios naturales a los que puedes acercarte mucho y tener fotos y recuerdos increíbles.

También puedes mochilear por Galápagos, aunque hay costos que si son un poco altos, depende de tu presupuesto
