Terrifying story about the most exotic

Galapagos Islands are famous for their rich flora and fauna. This is the place where scientist Charles Darwin found the theory of evolution. Today, the Galapagos Islands have many national parks and marine reserves and are recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site.

The dark history of the Galapagos Islands makes many people shudder, especially the truth about "the wall of tears".

Specifically, in 1832, the Galapagos Islands were officially annexed and became part of the Republic of Ecuador. Because the archipelago is isolated, the government built many forced labor camps and brought in prisoners from the mainland, so that no one had the opportunity to escape.

When prisoners were taken to the Galapagos Islands, they were forced to work in harsh conditions. Life is hard, hard, making them perform a bloody coup. In the wake of the coup, the Ecuadorian government sought to suppress but failed. Manuel J.Cobots - who took prisoners and labor to the island, was killed by the workers themselves. José Valdizian - a supplier of plant seeds to the government was also killed in the 1878 uprising.

By the end of World War 2, the Ecuadorian government turned Isabela Island , the Galapagos Islands into a prisoner of prisoners. In 1946, 300 prisoners were taken to Isabela and punished by hard labor to build a meaningless stone wall. Accordingly, the prisoner must walk a long distance to the quarry, cut rocks from the volcano and bring back to the site of the wall construction. In the process, many prisoners died.

In 1958, prisoners made a rebellion that killed many guards and hard labor. Therefore, 1 year later. The government is forced to close Isabela.

Today, the 100-meter-long wall becomes the proof for the dark history of the Galapagos Islands. This meaningless building was built with the prisoners' tears when tortured, beaten, or even killed. Therefore, the wall on the Galapagos Islands is also known as the 'tears wall'.
