GALAPAGOS AND ECUADOR SAMPLER

Discover the many worlds that Ecuador has to offer with our Galapagos and Ecuador Sampler!

Pack your bags for a spectacular tour to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands! Sample the many treasures Ecuador has to offer. You will begin by discovering Ecuador's rich culture. This small country is home to diverse, colorful ethnic groups and world-class artisans. Ecuador is also one of the most bio-diverse countries in the world from the rich tropical rainforest to the incomparable Galapagos Islands. This tour lets you sample it all.

In Otavalo you will travel back in time to a more gentile period staying at a traditional hacienda built during the era of Spanish rule. You'll learn about Ecuador's history and traditions. Dotting the Otavalo Valley are small Craft Villages of indigenous people of this area (many are direct descendants of pre-Inca civilizations). Within these villages are master artisans who create handicrafts using techniques that have been handed down from one generation to the next. You will be welcomed into their workshops where you can observe up-close as these artists create their masterpieces. You'll watch a lump of dough shaped into a colorful nativity scene or a master-weaver start with some plain wool transformed into a color woven rug. Finally during your visit to the famous Otavalo market, one of the best handicraft markets in all of Latin America, you'll have a chance to purchase everything from works of art to small souvenirs.

The flavor of the country changes as you leave the cultural world of Otavalo for the natural world of the tropical forest where the air is thick with the aroma of tropical fruits and flowers. This is a fragile region and home to some the most diverse flora and fauna in the world. It's an area rich in birdlife and orchids and is considered a bio-hot spot. The preservation of the tropical rainforest is of importance to everyone sharing this planet and by visiting the region we can better understand the role it plays on the world stage.

No visit to Ecuador would be complete without a visit to the incomparable Galapagos Islands. This modern day Garden of Eden is a Mecca for nature lovers from around the world. The incredible interactions with the island's wildlife make it an once-in-a-lifetime experience.

ULTIMATE WILDLIFE ADVENTURE - GALAPAGOS AND AMAZON RAINFOREST TOUR

The Ultimate tour for nature lovers, combine a visit to the Amazon Rainforest with the Galapagos Islands for the Ultimate Wildlife Adventure!

Imagine yourself drifting down a river in a dugout canoe; the trees are filled with the sounds of monkeys all around you. Your eyes are caught by a brilliant flash of color streaks above you as you suddenly recognize it as a pair of scarlet macaws flying above the canopy.

A trip to the Amazon Rainforest can bring this dream to life. The Amazon basin is the most species-rich rainforest in the world. Here in the river's headwaters the jungle will unveil an array of mysterious wildlife. You will encounter trees full of monkeys, and salt licks where hundreds of bright green parrots come to feed, there are capybaras the largest rodent in the world, tapir, piranha and a relative of the alligator, the caiman whose eyes glow red at night.

Your naturalist guide and local indigenous guide will travel with you through the forest to track larger creatures like ocelots, jaguars and the giant anaconda. During your visit you'll not only learn about the plants and animals that make up the rainforest but about the indigenous people who make the rainforest their home.

From the rainforest you will head to the Galapagos Islands for a completely different type of wildlife encounter. Unlike the rainforest where you tracked animals, in Galapagos the wildlife is plentiful and everywhere waiting to welcome you to these islands that Charles Darwin made famous. In the Galapagos you'll see dancing blue footed boobies, frigatebirds with the red balloon like pouches, immense giant tortoises, and the only sea going iguana in the world.

A must-do trip for nature lovers! Discover why the Amazon and Galapagos is the Ultimate Wildlife Adventure.
