Tours to the New World

Ecuador & Galapagos

The unique wildlife of the Galapagos Islands will forever be known as the inspiration behind Charles Darwin’s theories on evolution. Today these remote islands remain an inspiration to professional and amateur naturalists alike. However, they are certainly no conventional paradise, volcanic and mainly arid, the foreboding landscapes of these magical islands often give visitors the feeling they are taking pioneering steps as they land for the first time.Morpho ButterflyBlue Footed Booby

The lush forests of mainland Ecuador are some of the richest in the world and could not provide a greater contrast. By selecting prime locations in both cloud and lowland Amazonian forests we will gain a full appreciation of the magnitude of their faunal and floral diversity.

This tour has been designed to maximise wildlife watching potential by choosing to visit fewer locations than many alternative tours but staying longer in each. This is vital in forest areas where viewing can be challenging and time is needed to gain a full appreciation. Throughout lodges that offer the ideal blend of seclusion and comfort have been selected
