The Galapagos Islands are best known for their nature reserves and native species such as tortoises, mane lizards and penguins. The island's environment is said to have inspired Darwin to publish his famous Origin of Species. Because the island is a conservation area, pollution-free natural environment is naturally incomparable to other producing areas, coupled with the use of pesticides or fertilizers, the production of coffee to get EU organic certification is easy.

But the best ecuadorian coffee is grown on san cristobal island in the galapagos archipelago, where natural conditions uniquely breed the world's finest coffees. A cup of Galapagos coffee, like the beautiful scenery of the Galapagos Islands, is sure to impress you.

In the mid-15th century, among fishermen fishing in the Pacific Ocean off western South America, there were legends of magical islands. It is said that the islands can sometimes be clearly seen from a distance, but disappear as the ship approaches; sometimes they look like a galleon, sometimes they take on the shape of a witch. Fishermen called the islands "the enchanted islands," thinking they might be ruled by demons like the banshees of the sea in the Odyssey. This island, known to fishermen as the "magic island," is today the Galapagos Islands.

In 1535, the Galapagos Islands were discovered by chance by Frei Thomas de Berlanga of Spain and others. Thomas was born in 1487 on the banks of the Duro River in the Spanish province of Soria. He was the fourth bishop of Panama at that time. He was ordered to Peru. When his ship set out from Panama on February 23, under the impact of a strong current, they were carried to an unknown sea in the outer ocean. On March 10, an island in the Galapagos Islands was discovered. With only two days of fresh water left on board, the sailors landed in lifeboats and found plenty of seals, turtles, giant tortoises that could carry people and viper-like iguanas on the island, but they could not find fresh water, so they headed for another larger island more than 20 kilometers away. As there was still no wind, it took them days to get there, the water ran out quickly, and they had to starve, including the horses on board.
