Wildlife Wonders of the Cloud Forest and Galapagos Islands

You begin in Quito, Ecuador’s cultural capital steeped in colonial history, but with a keen movement towards modernity and a growing reputation for culinary splendour. Then head northwest to the cloud forest, where the varied elevations and resulting divergence of flora provide the range of habitats and food sources required to host a vast array of distinctive and beautiful birds. The tour ends with a 6-night cruise around the Galapagos Islands, arguably the greatest wildlife spectacle in the world, and of course, once the inspiration for Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.

You will stay in a mid-range hotel in old-Quito, a comfortable and memorable eco-lodge in the cloud forest, a convenient airport hotel, and a spacious upper-mid-range vessel in the Galapagos, meaning you can spend your days searching for photo perfection, safe in the knowledge that a comfortable bed awaits you every evening.
