Details
This 10-day adventure begins in Quito, Ecuador, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its vibrant culture and well-preserved colonial center.
The journey continues to the Galapagos Islands, where you'll explore the diverse wildlife and volcanic landscapes that inspired Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. On San Cristobal Island, you'll visit "La Loberia," a beach teeming with playful sea lions, marine iguanas, and various bird species. You'll then embark on a thrilling speedboat trip to Kicker Rock, a renowned snorkeling site known for its diverse marine life.
Next, you'll fly to Isabela Island, the largest and most volcanically active island in the Galapagos archipelago. Here, you'll encounter flamingos, marine iguanas, giant tortoises, and other fascinating creatures. You'll explore lava formations, snorkel with playful sea lions and penguins, and witness sea turtles navigating lava tunnels.
The adventure concludes on Santa Cruz Island, where you'll visit the Charles Darwin Research Station to learn about the unique endemic species and ongoing conservation efforts.
Finally, you'll return to Quito, where you'll have time to reflect of the memories made in the Galapagos Islands.
