Colonial Quito Ecuador's capital Quito, known
as the City of Eternal spring, with its grandiose colonial buildings and ornate churches, serves as a reminder of its former glory as one of Spain's principal New World centres. You have a day to explore the highlights of this fascinating city with its volcanic backdrop before flying via Guayaquil to the Galapagos Islands.
COLONIAL QUITO
In Darwin's Footsteps The Galapagos
Islands offer a unique wildlife experience - a nature lover's paradise where the animals have no fear of humans. Swim with penguins and turtles as friendly sea lions twist and turn around you while their inquisitive pups frolic in the surf. On land step over clumps of tightly packed marine iguanas, marvel at the size of the giant tortoises, watch the blue-footed boobies dance while pterodactyl-like frigate birds soar overhead. A trip to the islands is one of the most unforgettable experiences you are ever likely to have.
The Andes Using a colonial mansion cradled in the Andes as a base you are able to explore the
beautiful mountain scenery with walks to volcanic lakes and visit the famous market town of Otavalo as well as the various indigenous villages of the area.
