More Details
Your Galápagos getaway first begins in Quito at Casa Gangotena, a luxury hotel. Indeed, its convenient location in the commercial and residential area of the capital places you within easy access of the old city.
The next morning, meet your private guide for a tour of the Otavalo Market, the largest in South America. While there, spend time browsing the traditional arts and crafts of the local artisans who display their wares for sale.
Then it is time to begin your Galapagos luxury cruise. From Quito, you will fly to the Galápagos Islands, where you will be escorted to your luxury-class small-ship vessel. Spend the next seven days of your Galapagos luxury cruise exploring the Enchanted Islands with experienced and knowledgeable naturalist guides, all while enjoying the incredible amenities on board the ship.
Furthermore, your Galápagos vessel is small in size with room for only 16 to 20 passengers, allowing for a luxurious, private experience. Also, the smaller size vessel makes it possible to visit parts of the archipelago normally unreachable by the larger cruise ships.
Routes will vary depending on your interests. However, wildlife sightings are guaranteed. Highlights include marine and land iguanas, frigatebirds, blue-footed and red-footed boobies, sea lions, flamingoes, and abundant sea life such as manta rays and hammerhead sharks.
After your seven-day Galapagos luxury cruise, you will return to mainland Ecuador for an overnight stay in Guayaquil. Allow yourself time to readjust to the “real world” before your international flight the following morning.
