It seems hard to believe that it has been six months since we enjoying snorkeling in the Galapagos, but time flies when you're having fun. We also used our time there productively and this is reflected in our new and he hope improved edition if one of our most popular titles. This edition has three changes to note. The first is that we have updated the road network, basic though it is; the second is that most of the sketches that have graced the map for six editions have been replaced by photos, and the third is that the cover photo is one of our own pictures for the first time, thanks to Lan and a supremely proud frigate bird. Going to the Galapagos brought to our attention the importance of 'how' to do so. There are only two places on earth for visitors to leave from in order to land in the Galapagos - Quito and Quayaquil - so we've added large insets of both cities to the map to assist visitors needing to find their way around those cities before and after visiting the sea lions. Printed on waterproof paper.

Bradt's fully illustrated wildlife guides focus on regions of the world particularly celebrated for their amazing and often unique species.

With spectacular photography or exclusive watercolour drawings throughout, each visitors' guide provides an introduction to the region's principal flora and fauna alongside suggested wildlife itineraries, practical information on when to go and what to take and photography tips. Written in a deliberately engaging way, they offer something different from dry field guides, and will appeal to the interested layman as much as the wildlife devotee. Ideal as a lightweight companion to any wildlife trip they also make a handsome souvenir.

The Galápagos islands are famed for their unique and diverse wildlife, as illustated here with full colour photographs on every page. In spite of their isolated location, their allure is such that they are a mecca for wildlife enthusiasts on what has often been called the ‘trip of a lifetime’. Galápagos Wildlife is written by experienced tour guides, who share essential tips on how to discover the best the islands can offer and fascinating background on key species.

Whether planning a voyage of discovery in the footsteps of Darwin or simply as a great souvenir of a trip, this guide will be invaluable for visitors to this magical kingdom.
