The Galapagos Islands are Ecuador's most famous feature -and for good reason. These remote isles hold a whole host of unique wildlife and the lack of many natural predators make it possible to view these animals up close in a way you can't do anywhere else. It's a truly spectacular experience for all of the family. Flexible cruise lengths allow you to see as much as possible in just a few days.

Then, back on the mainland, you can explore charming colonial towns, indigenous markets, natural hot springs, and even the Amazon.
