Checking out the Galápagos in Princes Grace's old yacht, "Grace", a small luxury boat ideal for this purpose.
 
The Galápagos are famous for their large number of endemic species, which were studied by Charles Darwin in the 1830s and inspired his theory of evolution by means of natural selection. Many of the islands are protected as part of Ecuador's Galápagos National Park and Marine Reserve.  Part of Ecuador and 900kms off the South American coast, this pilgrimage was in honour of our hero, Charles Darwin.
