"Volcanic islands, no Ecuador visa needed"

World Famous

Galapagos Islands

Ecuador

Darwin's living laboratory: volcanic islands teeming with fearless wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies.

The Canaries have giant lizards too — and better beaches

European Alternative

Canary Islands

Spain

Volcanic islands with unique ecosystems, giant lizards, ancient laurel forests, and Teide — Europe's highest volcano. Each island is a different world, from desert to cloud forest.
