Islands belonging to Ecuador (9)

I believe the answer is:

galapagos

(Other definitions for galapagos that I've seen before include "somewhere in the Pacific" , "Pacific nature reserve islands" , "Group of islands off South America known for unusual animal life" , "tortoises" , "tortoise" .)

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