The Galapagos Islands: wildlife and historic wonder

Ecuador and Galapagos vacations
Craft your unique Ecuador and Galapagos trip with experienced local experts
Journey to the centre of the world
Small yet perfectly formed, Ecuador was named after the equatorial line it straddles, and holds an impressive roster of landscapes and experiences within its borders. High in the Andes, the capital Quito is a city of well-preserved colonial architecture; around it stretches the high sierra, with its volcanic peaks and indigenous communities. On the Pacific coast, beaches tempt visitors down from the highlands, but head east and you’ll be plunged into the emerald depths of the Amazon Rainforest. Last but certainly not least, the Galapagos archipelago is every naturalist’s dream, 600 miles from the mainland and brimming with wildlife wonders.
