While in the Galapagos, learn about endemic flora and fauna species, hike near active volcanoes and catch glimpses of unique wildlife and landscapes. Next, head to the jungle to explore the Napo River by canoes along tannin-rich black water creeks and lakes. In the Andes, hop on a train and ride through the mountainous terrain, watch a traditional dance performance and visit one of the biggest craft markets in South America.

 

“This 15-day,14-night journey of a lifetime takes you to the snow-capped volcanoes of the Andes, the depths of the Amazon jungle, and the breathtaking mini-worlds of the Galapagos Islands, unspoiled by civilization,” said Belen Cordova, account manager, Sacha Lodge.

 

Highlights of the tour include visiting Quito’s colonial center and learning about its artistic legacy, hiking volcanoes on Isabela Island and seeing its unique wildlife, staying at luxurious safari-style tent resorts, visiting Sucre’s cave, touring a sea turtle breeding center and encountering sea lions, marine iguanas and unique penguins.

 

Staying at Sacha Lodge is a highlight within itself. The lodge is situated on a 5,000-acre ecological reserve in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Guests can walk across a bridge suspended over the rainforest canopy, catch a glimpse of monkeys or river otters, climb to the top of a giant kapok tree and more.

 

Scalesia Galapagos Lodge sits in the highlands of Isabela Island on the slopes of a volcano. The luxury safari-style tent resort in the forest offers stunning views of the coast, Pacific Ocean and other islands of the Galapagos along the horizon.
