Galapagos + Ecuador
Every flight to the Galapagos leaves from Quito or Guayaquil. So you are in Ecuador anyway: add the Andes, the Amazon or the coast. We plan it all together, with one point of contact.
How to combine
Examples, not fixed packages. We adapt every trip to your days, budget and interests.
6 d Andes + 5 d Galapagos
Quito, the volcanoes and a market in the Andes, then a 5-day cruise. Ideal if you only have two weeks off.
7 d Andes + 4 d Amazon + 5 d Galapagos
Our most requested trip: the Andes from north to south, a lodge in the Amazon and a cruise or island hopping.
8 d Andes + 4 d Amazon + 3 d Coast + 6 d Galapagos
Three weeks, four worlds. With time for the whales on the coast (June to September) and a longer cruise.
Don't fly the same route twice. Arrive in Quito, travel overland to the south and fly from Guayaquil to the islands. You also fly home via Guayaquil. More on the Practical page.
Sample trips on the mainland
Trips of different lengths and types, often in three comfort classes. Any trip can go before or after the Galapagos.
