 When the Spaniards discovered by chance the Galapagos Islands in 1535, they named the archipelago "Islas Encantadas" - Enchanted Islands. In the 17th Century they served as a pirate lair. In the 19th Century, they were renamed due to the resident giant tortoises and then called "Galápagos". As Ecuador took possession of the islands, they were renamed 1832 to "Archipelago of Ecuador" and gradually settled peacefully. 1835 evolutionist Charles Darwin visited the island group, which consists of 14 large and 100 small islands.
