Overview
The Galápagos is the greatest wildlife encounter on earth — giant tortoises, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies and sea lions that simply ignore you, on the islands that gave Darwin his theory. This 8-night journey pairs an island cruise with colonial Quito and the Equator line.
We arrange the Galápagos cruise or island-hopping, the park fees and permits, the internal flights and the naturalist guides, and can add the Amazon or Cotopaxi volcano.
