Description
Your adventure begins with a flight from Quito to this unique archipelago, where you’ll explore the incredible biodiversity and stunning landscapes that have captivated explorers and scientists alike for centuries.
Your tour starts on Santa Cruz Island, the gateway to the Galapagos. Here, you'll visit the Charles Darwin Research Station, where you’ll learn about the vital conservation efforts to protect the unique species of the Galapagos. Walk among giant tortoises, see fascinating land iguanas, and discover the rich history of scientific research on these islands.
Next, you’ll journey to Isabela Island, the largest island in the archipelago. This island offers a variety of landscapes, from volcanic terrains to pristine beaches. Explore the lush highlands, where wild tortoises roam freely, and take a trip to the stunning Sierra Negra Volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the Galapagos. Hiking up to the crater offers breathtaking views and a chance to witness the raw power of volcanic activity.
A highlight of your stay on Isabela is the chance to snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Concha de Perla. Swim alongside playful sea lions, colorful fish, and, if you're lucky, even marine iguanas and penguins. The underwater world of the Galapagos is just as mesmerizing as its land-based wonders.
Your final destination is San Cristobal Island, known for its rich history and vibrant marine life. Visit Kicker Rock, an iconic snorkeling and diving site where you can swim with hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, and rays. The dramatic rock formations and abundant marine life make this an unforgettable experience.
Throughout your journey, you’ll stay in comfortable accommodations that provide a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Enjoy delicious meals prepared with fresh local ingredients, and unwind each evening with the sounds of the ocean as your backdrop.
Beyond the stunning natural beauty, this tour offers ample opportunities to learn about the fascinating ecology and geology of the Galapagos. Guided by knowledgeable naturalists, you’ll gain insights into the islands' unique ecosystems and the ongoing efforts to preserve this UNESCO World Heritage site.
After eight days of exploring the diverse islands and witnessing the incredible wildlife, you'll return to Quito with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
