Trip Highlights

Visit Quitsato Equator Sundial
Stand at the “middle of the world” as you visit this enormous sundial. Sitting precisely on the equator, the sundial marks not just the location but the cultural identity of Ecuador.

Cooking Lessons in Ecuador
Discover how delicious Ecuadorian treats—like ice cream, empanadas and fried bananas—are made at the Hacienda Pinsaqui, the 16th-century Andean estate where you will be staying for 2 nights.

Experience the Andean Way of Life
Be entranced by whirling folk dancers at a festive welcome dinner. Immerse yourself in the region’s rich culture with a private performance by a local flute maker. And learn weaving techniques from local experts at a renowned cultural center. It’s all part of the amazing Andean lifestyle!

4-Night Cruise Aboard the La Pinta Yacht
Board this elegant vessel for an expedition to the islands of Santa Cruz, Santiago, Genovesa and North Seymour. On board the ship, you’ll be treated to a private, story-filled stargazing session that gives you the rare opportunity to view the constellations from both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Hiking and Snorkeling in the Galapagos Islands
Hike across the islands of the Archipelago and submerge yourself in exotic underwater worlds with the help of a naturalist licensed by the Galapagos.
