The Galapagos Islands are located about 600 miles (approximately 1,000 kilometers) west of Ecuador, the nearest point on the South American mainland. Due to tectonic plate movement, the islands are slowly drifting eastward at a rate of about 2 to 3 centimeters per year. Considering their current distance, it would take millions of years for the islands to reach South America. However, geological processes could also change this scenario over time.
