Comment

A 2 week tour combining incredible scenery and the incomparable wildlife of the Galapagos. Note that we stay in hotels on the Galapagos and take day trips to surrounding islands rather than sleeping on board a boat. Tourism in the Galapagos is expensive but rudimentary, hotel and restaurant standards are similar to those of other developing nations.

Group

Approx. 12 to 16.

Introduction

This trip combines the distinctive highland culture of the Valley of the Volcanoes where we explore the area around the dramatic peaks of Cotopaxi and Chimborozo. We also include a short rainforest experience in Ecuador's subtropical lowlands - but the highlight must be to see the amazing endemic wildlife of the Galapagos, staying in a hotel and making forays out to the surrounding islands.
