Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have taken their brood on a family vacation.

The trip to the Galapagos Islands comes on the back of their recent announcement that they have finally gotten engaged.

Angelina was seen flashing her enormous diamond sparkler in Hollywood earlier this week but the jet set family never stays in one place for too long.

The eight-strong group touched down in Ecuador yesterday by private jet, X17Online reports.

Santa Cruz mayor, Leopoldo Buchelli confirmed the A-List family were in town but did not give further details of their trip.

Angelina, Brad and their six children were seen on a local tour bus before getting on a ferry to the islands which are famous for being where scientist Charles Darwin did a lot of his work on evolution.

The park is also protected by the United Nations as a World Heritage site.

Angelina was recently promoted to the role of Special Envoy to the United Nations Human Rights Commission for Refugees.

"In her new role she is expected to focus on large-scale crises," the UNHCR said in a statement.
