Itinerary

Unleash your sense of wonder with the "Best of Ecuador and Galapagos Cruise," a 12-day small group adventure that invites you into the heart of Latin America’s most extraordinary landscapes. For those who value discovery and comfort, this moderately active trip begins in Quito—Ecuador’s high-altitude capital—where colonial architecture and Andean vistas set the stage.

Travel to Otavalo’s colorful markets and dip into the soothing hot springs of Papallacta before venturing into the Amazonian Tropical Forest, with its dramatic waterfalls and views of Tungurahua Volcano. The tour’s crown jewel is a Galapagos Islands cruise, where you’ll spot rare wildlife like giant tortoises, flamingos, and blue-footed boobies amid volcanic islands and crystal-clear waters. Snorkeling, nature walks, and up-close encounters with endemic species make this wildlife safari a true bucket-list experience.

The blend of mainland Ecuador’s cultural highlights with the Galapagos’ unique ecosystems is what sets this tour package apart. With accommodations, guided excursions, and meals included, it’s a seamless, enriching journey for experienced travelers who crave authentic adventure and natural marvels.
