Destination:  Galapagos Islands
Length: From 5 to 9 Days


Located in the Pacific Ocean, 1000 kilometers from the South American mainland, this Ecuadorean Archipelago, made of 14 major islands and more than 60 smaller islands and islets, surrounded by its Marine Reserve, the world’s second largest, is known as a “Living Laboratory” or “Showcase” of Evolution…

The combination of converging marine currents, a volcanic geological structure and their oceanic isolation has resulted in this “melting pot” of unique species, found nowhere else on earth.  Some of the most notorious samples are the marine iguanas, the giant tortoises (called “Galapagos”) and the 13 varieties of Darwin’s finches.

This uniqueness inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, following his visit to the islands in 1835.  Since then, they have become a Mecca for scientific investigation.  Today, as a strictly protected National Park, and the world’s first natural area designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, the Galapagos are also one of the world’s most fascinating tourist destinations and a true Wonder of Nature…

Discover the Enchanted Galapagos and be part of this awesome experience in a variety of ways… Choose between 4 days / 3 nights, 5 days / 4 nights or 8 days / 7 nights excursions on board an ample array of vessels or opt for a land-based program with daily excursions.
