Journey to Quito, Ecuador, a city that thrived during the time of the Inca Empire. Stroll its historic plazas and discover colorful outdoor Indian markets, stocked with the creations of local artisans. Then journey to the Amazon to witness the amazing biological diversity of the tropical rain forest, home to a vast array of birds and plant species. Learn about this habitat and its human inhabitants as you wind along watery channels in a dugout canoe.
Go on to cruise the Galápagos Archipelago and see its exotic birds and wildlife amid the pristine surroundings of steep cliffs and coral beaches. Immerse yourself in the crystal-clear waters that are home to marine species found nowhere else on our planet. Two dramatically contrasting ecosystems and glimpses into Andean and Amazonian cultures make this an exceptional journey of discovery.
