Welcome, EO members!

Are you looking for adventure in an exotic location? Join your EO peers for this amazing journey to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands! Though relatively small in size, Ecuador is blessed with the most spectacular array of natural and cultural diversity in the world. We have designed this trip to provide a balanced introduction to the country’s treasures without sparing any of the essentials. We will be sailing on a luxury ship that plies the waters of the Galapagos, staying in top-rated hotels and haciendas and eating in excellent restaurants. What’s more, the trip will be fully escorted to ensure the details are executed flawlessly. Your only responsibility is to have a good time.

What’s an EO trip without learning? There’s no better place to learn than the Galapagos Islands, where nature has evolved as plants and animals adapted to their surroundings in complete isolation. Along with the Islands, we will be touring the historical areas of Quito, Ecuador’s capital city, and learning from its ministers about the country’s place in the world economy. In addition, we will have an overnight stay at a traditional hacienda in the Andean highlands, where the indigenous people still bring their crafts, produce and livestock to the market.

I look forward to sharing this adventure and making new friends with you. I hope to see you in Ecuador next June!
