Quito and Galápagos Island Hopping

For such a small chain, the Galápagos Islands have an amazing amount of biodiversity—landscapes range from moon-like craters to lush valleys filled with ferns. You can spot exotic wildlife around every corner: giant tortoises, sea lions, and the famous finches that inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution.

Days 1 and 2: Quito

A guided walking tour of Quito’s colonial district is your introduction to the city. You’ll learn about Quito’s long history—from pre-Incan civilizations to the present—as you tour Independence Square and La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús, a 17th-century Jesuit church with an interior almost entirely covered in gold leaf.

  • Sightseeing highlight: 360-degree views of Quito from the top of Panecillo Hill, which is crowned with a giant aluminum statue of the Virgin Mary
  • Meals: breakfast on day 2

Day 3: Santa Cruz Island

Marvel at Santa Cruz Island as you drive across ecosystems ranging from arid deserts to rainforests. The island is home to a wealth of wildlife, including Galápagos finches and giant tortoises. See them up close during a visit to a tortoise breeding center.

  • Sightseeing highlight: a visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station, where you’ll learn about conservation efforts across the Galápagos Islands
  • Meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Days 4 and 5: Isabela Island

Your visit to Isabela Island kicks off with a tour of Flamingo Lagoon, the largest coastal lagoon in the chain and an important reproductive site for flamingos. Then you’ll travel by boat to Tintoreras Islet, where you can see sea lions, marine iguanas, and Galápagos penguins in their natural habitat. An easy hike to the top of the Sierra Negra Volcano the following day leads to the world’s second-largest crater—it’s 6 miles in diameter and 300 feet deep.

  • Sightseeing highlight: a snorkeling trip on Tintoreras Islet, where you may spot starfish, sea urchins, and a manta ray or two
  • Meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner (each day)

Day 6: Los Gemelos and Departure

If there’s time before your flight, you’ll visit a pair of craters, Los Gemelos, that collapsed after lava burned giant tunnels into the ground beneath. Then it’s off to the airport in Quito for your return flight.

  • Meals: breakfast
