Itinerary idea in detail

Includes international flights from a choice of UK airports, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

  • Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Quito. You will be met and transferred to your hotel on arrival in Quito.

  • Enjoy a guided city tour of Quito.

  • Travel north along the Pan-American Highway through pretty villages to your rural hacienda.

  • An early start to visit the colourful and vibrant market at Otavalo. You will have time to explore and perhaps barter for goods before returning to Quito for the night.

  • Travel down the Avenue of Volcanoes with your private guide, exploring en route and enjoying the views of Cotopaxi.

  • Onward to Cuenca, with a train ride along the Devil's Nose.

  • Explore the colonial city of Cuenca with your guide, including one of the famous Panama hat factories.

  • Travel by road through the beautiful El Cajas National Park all the way to sea level and Guayaquil.

  • Transfer to the airport in time for your flight to the Galapagos Islands. Here you will be met by a member of your hotel who will take you to your accommodation.

  • Today, you'll take a yacht trip to North Seymour Island or Santa Island. At North Seymour, you can take a guided walk through the woods of palo santo trees to observe colonies of blue-footed boobies and magnificent frigate birds. At Santa, you'll follow your guide on a short hike through opuntia cacti, looking out for land iguanas, lava lizards and sea lions.

  • Today, you'll visit the crescent-shaped Plazas Islands by yacht. These small islands are dense in wildlife and plant life. Prickly pear cacti and the low-lying succulent plant sesuvium (which changes hues with the seasons) carpet the island. You have a good chance of seeing sea lions, swallow-tailed gulls and land iguanas.

  • Today, you'll visit Bartolom茅 Island. Here, you can climb to the island's summit for far-reaching views over the surrounding islands. It's a geologically intriguing place, with tuff cones and lava formations. The sea here is often busy with sea lions and penguins, so it's worth keeping your eyes peeled.

  • You will fly back to the mainland to connect with your international flight home.

  • Arrive home today to complete your journey.
