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 several days to get there, the water ran out quickly, and they had to starve, including the horses on board.
