Discover the wonders of Ecuador with the "Highlights of Quito and Galapagos Islands" tour, a seven-day group adventure designed for experienced travelers who enjoy moderate activity and once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters. This tour package blends the rich culture of Quito with the world-renowned nature of the Galapagos.

A boat ride to Isabela Island unveils Las Tintoreras Islet, home to Galapagos Penguins, Marine Iguanas, Sally Lightfoot Crabs, and more.

Return to Quito for a final dose of Ecuadorian charm, wandering vibrant streets and visiting historic landmarks such as Independence Square and centuries-old churches. The unique selling point of this tour is its expert combination of cultural immersion and exclusive wildlife viewing—perfect for travelers seeking the best of both worlds in a single, memorable trip.
My wife and I really enjoyed our trip. We never could have managed to see as much of Ecuador & Galapagos and as many sites on our own and the tour made it really easy and pleasurable.
