Color & Tradition in the Andes

The Andean valley that surrounds Quito is home to important indigenous cultures and historic sites, such as the Cocasquí archaeological ruins. From pyramids to craft markets, there is much to discover in Ecuador.


Our trek through the Andes will allow us to soak in this rich history and witness indigenous traditions first-hand.

The Legacy of the Galápagos

Located 600 miles off the Ecuadorian coast, the Galápagos Islands are one of the most volcanically active areas in the world.

The islands are famous for their complex and evolving ecosystem of turtles, blue-footed boobies, seals, iguana, and more. It's no wonder they were the inspiration behind Darwin's theory of evolution.

Today, the Galápagos Marine Reserve is a recognized Natural Heritage Site where dozens of unique species are protected.
