The first Europeans to discover the Galápagos Islands happened when Fray Tomas de Berlanga, the fourth Bishop of Panama, sailed to Peru. De Berlanga's vessel drifted off course when the winds diminished, and his party reached the islands on March 10, 1535.
Tomas de Berlanga
The Galapagos Islands are located in the Pacific Ocean, 600 miles west of Ecuador, which is on the western coast of South America. Their first recorded discovery was on March 10, 1535, by Fray Tomas de Berlanga, who happened upon them accidentally while sailing from Panama to Peru. Apart from that I think you must visit that Island as its a best place for experience the nature and wildlife. For more you may search online where you may get information sites as reachecuador.com
