Galapagos Islands

This became renowned following Charles Darwin's visit in 1835 leading to his ground-breaking conclusions of the theory of evolution. Much of the local wildlife, flora and fauna boast of an impressive number of species found only in the Galapagos Islands, and in many cases only on one of the islands. These include the world's Northern Penguin, land and marine Iguanas as well as the enormous Giant Galapagos Tortoise. Enjoy a memorable cruise and an encounter with nature.

If you are in the area on a business trip, don't miss the opportunity of pairing Guayaquil with the magical Galapagos Islands or the capital city of Quito, both short flights away from Guayaquil. The perfect trip would be four days to the Galapagos Islands with two days in Guayaquil to re-acclimatize to life on the mainland.
