Brangelina Arrive in the Galapagos Islands

Toronto (Canada) – 23 April 2012 – Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie recently landed in the Galapagos Islands for their family holiday, turning the attention of the world’s media to the beautiful, protected UNESCO World Heritage Site off the coast of Ecuador.

Reported to be staying on Santa Cruz Island, the couple and their brood will be able to observe the Galapagos Giant Tortoise in its natural surroundings in the Santa Cruz Highlands. This area is also famous for its incredible lava tunnels, some of which are over 1km long.

G Adventures is one of the larger operators in the Galapagos and offers land stays visiting Santa Cruz and other islands in the archipelago, as well as operating four exclusive yachts that cover a range of trip styles and budgets for those who prefer to spend their nights at sea.
