Culture & Heritage:Although the Inca empire originated in Peru, by the early 15th it began to spread to Ecuador. It is a multi-ethnic country; people here are indigenous, African, and European heritage. Galapagos culture is a mixture between the people that came from the highlands, the Amazon Jungle, and the coast of Ecuador.

Culinary:
Surrounded by one of the richest marine ecosystems in the world, fish and other seafood are widely available and mouth-wateringly fresh. As Galapagos is a part of Ecuador you can enjoy hearty plates of rice, meat, Andean potatoes and other Ecuadorian staples. We will explore some of these foods including exotic varieties of fruit, like citrusy naranjilla and sweet but tart guanabana which are used to make ice creams, juices and other delicious concoctions.

Educational:
Learn about Ecuador’s rich history and culture during your visit in Quito, the countries capital; then explore the Galapagos Islands, a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, and considered one of the world’s foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing. At the Charles Darwin Research Station we learn about their efforts to preserve and conserve the Galapagos Islands and the animals and plants that live there.

Landscapes & Wildlife:
The Galápagos Islands are a chain of thirteen major and some small islands (archipelago.) Repeated volcanic eruptions helped form the rugged mountain landscapes. The Galapagos are best known for the giant tortoise, the marine iguana, the flightless cormorant, and the Galapagos penguin. During your visit to Isabela and Santa Cruz islands, you can enjoy this incredible wildlife and amazing landscapes.
.
Leisure:
Everyone needs a time out. Tortuga Bay is the most popular beach on the Galápagos Islands and is frequently ranked as one of the best beaches in the world. Enjoy beach time at leisure alone or with fellow travelers. You may also opt to go snorkeling or rent a kayak.

Outdoor & Adventure:
Plenty of outdoor activities await. Las Grietas, the swimming hole on Santa Cruz Island features three crystal clear pools in a picturesque setting, sandwiched in a crevasse between high volcanic walls. A bike ride through the wetlands, alongside undeveloped nature takes us to the Wall of Tears. Hike up the Sierra Negra volcano, an active volcano, whose landscapes have been described as ‘other worldly” provides us with the most amazing views and excellent photography opportunities.
