The Journey

The archipelago that rewrote biology, at close range — boobies and albatross on the cliffs, penguins and flightless cormorants along the shore, and Darwin's finches at arm's length. Pairs naturally with the Ecuador Cloud Forest extension.

Dates and the full itinerary for this 2028 journey are being finalised, and it can be paired with the Ecuador Cloud Forest extension. Register your interest and we will contact you personally the moment registration opens.
