This was a trip of a lifetime! G adventures and our CEO's, Felipe and Gustavo, made everything so enjoyable and easy! Getting to the Galapagos was no easy feat and our CEO's handled everything with professionalism and enthusiasm. I felt like I was able to show up and not have to think about anything. I will definitely be booking Gluxe adventures again!

Explore Peru and the Galapagos on this epic adventure from Lima to Quito. In the ancient land of the Incas, you’ll uncover historic architecture, vast Andean landscapes, ancient ruins, busy markets and welcoming locals.

Watch as sea lions, iguanas, giant tortoises and exotic birds go about their daily business. Go snorkelling near mighty manta rays, turtles and tropical fish and soak up the natural, rugged landscapes of the area, seeing what Charles Darwin saw more than 180 years ago.
