Ecuador islands (9)

I believe the answer is:

galapagos

(Other definitions for galapagos that I've seen before include "- Islands are home to Darwin's finches" , "Equatorial Pacific archipelago" , "tortoises" , "tortoise" , "Group of islands off South America known for unusual animal life" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
