The Galapagos Islands are among Ecuador’s jewels. More than 600 miles offshore in the Pacific, these islands are home to fascinating species of birds and animals such as marine iguanas, giant tortoises, blue and red-footed boobies, pelicans and even a few penguins. These are the legendary islands that inspired Charles Darwin to propose his theory of evolution. Stay on Santa Cruz and Isabela Islands for an incredible Galapagos experience, which includes flights, first-class hotels and most meals, as well as a truly fascinating program of exploration of the Galapagos. Don't wait a moment to book our new Galapagos Islands Adventure package. Space is truly very limited, and at these prices, you won't find a better value-for-money vacation anywhere.
