One thing that sets Ecuador apart from most other countries in the world is its remarkable biodiversity. In this tiny country, travelers can cross from the verdant Amazon through the ancient Andes and onto the sun-kissed coast, all the way to Darwin's cradle in the Galapagos Islands in just a few short hours. In these enchanted islands, you will see first-hand the pristinely preserved biodiversity in the same state that Darwin himself saw it in 1835, including scores of endemic species like the marine iguana or the Galapagos penguin. The Andean paramo is home to its own flora & fauna, including the soaring condors, stealthy foxes, and deer. Of course, the undisputed paradise for naturalists is the lush rainforest in Amazonia, where more species of birds, monkeys, and plants thrive in harmony than most of the world.

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
