Tour experiences:
- Meet Galapagos Wildlife, The wildlife of the Galapagos Islands is unique, incredible and unusual. These animals, like giant tortoises, marine iguanas, flightless cormorants and much more, you’ll find nowhere else in the world; completely unfazed by human presence, you get to observe them up close in their natural habitats.
- Pijal Village & Sacha Warmikuna Experience, Visit the Andean village of Pijal for an authentic cultural experience with the women of the Sacha Warmikuna community, learning about their sustainable way of life, traditional cuisine and handicrafts. Prepare ají before enjoying a farm-to-table lunch made with fresh local produce and browsing the community's handmade creations.
- Visit the Amazon Rainforest, Discover the Amazon's rich biodiversity at a wildlife rescue centre before meeting a local community to learn about its traditions and deep connection to the rainforest.
