CRUISES IN GALAPAGOS

The Galapagos Islands are best visited on a small cruise ship. Almost all ships take a maximum of 16 passengers. You eat and sleep aboard the ship during the cruise and usually sail at night. This way you also reach the more remote islands. All ships permanently have 1 or more professional English-speaking guides on board.

On hotel in Galapagos

You can also visit the Galapagos Islands with overnight hotel stays. There are 4 inhabited islands in Galapagos: Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, Santa Isabela and Floreana. Here you will find hotels of different classes.

WAAROM KIEZEN VOOR ECUADOR?

Indian woman from SalasacasIn Zuid-Amerika is Ecuador een van de kleinere landen. Ecuador is maar half zo groot als Frankrijk, maar het land is enorm divers wat geografie, klimaat en bevolking betreft. Je kan er zowel de Andes, het Amazonewoud als de tropische kust bezoeken zonder extreem lange binnenlandse vluchten of transfers te maken. En dan heb je nog de Galapagos-eilanden, een “once in a lifetime experience”.
De diversiteit in Ecuador van flora en fauna per km2 is enorm. Ecuador is Zuid-Amerika in een notendop. Bovendien is het land relatief veilig en weinig bezocht.
De nationale munt is de USD en je hebt een ruime keuze aan rechtstreekse vluchten naar Quito en Guayaquil vanuit Europa en de Verenigde Staten.
