8 Day Galapagos Family Cruise: Wildlife & Water Adventures
8 Day Galapagos Family Cruise: Wildlife & Water Adventures
Explore colonial Quito and the vibrant Galapagos Islands on this tailor-made adventure for the family! The first ever city to be named a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO, Quito is a fascinating capital with a rich history spanning over a thousand years. See first-hand the influence that indigenous tribes, the Inca and the Spanish have had over the centuries as you taste your way through the capital and its surrounding regions. Explore incredibly biodiverse rainforests along the equator, and revel in the awe-inspiring sights and sounds of the wild Ecuadorian cloud forest. In the Galapagos Islands, cruise the legendary archipelago and soiree with like-minded travelers as you hike on disparate isles, snorkel and swim in crystalline waters, and get up close and personal with the tremendous range of animals that call these remote islands home. Watch your kids’ faces light up as they encounter a range of exotic animals in this real-life wonderland, keeping an eye out for Magellanic penguins, blue-footed boobies, flightless cormorants, land and marine iguanas, sea lions, sea turtles, giant tortoises and many others. It’s no surprise that it was his time in the Galapagos that inspired Charles Darwin to famously write, “it appears that nothing can be more improving to a young naturalist, than a journey in distant countries.”
