In Darwin’s Footsteps The Galapagos Islands are a nature lover’s paradise where the animals have no fear of humans. Swim and snorkel with penguins and turtles as friendly sea lions twist and turn around you and their inquisitive pups frolic in the surf. On land step over clumps of tightly packed marine iguanas, marvel at the size of the giant tortoises and watch the blue-footed boobies dance whilst pterodactyl-like frigate birds soar overhead. A trip to the islands is one of the most unforgettable experiences you are ever likely to have. Colonial Quito & Cotopaxi Volcano On mainland Ecuador explore the grandiose colonial buildings of Quito and visit the equator. You’ll also have the option to take in the amazing Otavalo market or impressive Cotopaxi Volcano, a stark contrast to the tranquil islands of the Galapagos. Responsible Travel Using small boats ensures minimal disruption to the wildlife and ecosystems. The Adventure Company support the Galapagos Conservation Trust. www.gct.org |
