Explore Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands

Get back (way back!) to nature in the Galápagos Islands, where Darwin discovered a whole new world of natural wonders where giant tortoises, sea lions, blue and red-footed boobies, and marine iguanas amaze along each step, snorkel, and stunning sight. Be awed by the array of the world’s most unique wildlife, terrain, and seas in a kaleidoscope of creatures found nowhere else on Earth! Back on the equatorial mainland of Ecuador, the treasures of Quito reveal a remarkable history–from Independence Plaza, 16th-century San Francisco Monastery, and the golden altars of La Compania Church.
