Machu Picchu to the Galapagos

A picturesque beach in the Galapagos Islands featuring two sea lions resting on the white sand near the turquoise ocean. The water is calm, with small islands visible in the distance under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. Moss-covered rocks add texture to the shoreline.
