Ultimate Galápagos Exploration & Ecuador's Amazon Wilds

Unbeatable Value: Travel at the lowest price and per diems in the industry.

Customize Your Experience: Join the 31% of travelers who extend their time abroad. Add a pre-trip extension to Best of Peru: Lima, The Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu; post-trip extension to Riobamba & Cuenca: Cultural Treasures in the Ecuadorean Andes; or both of these extensions to your Ecuador adventure—when you do, you’ll enjoy more time to develop bonds with your fellow travelers.

O.A.T. Exclusives: Our privately chartered 16-passenger Galápagos ship will anchor just off each island we visit and a Zodiac will bring you ashore, saving time otherwise spent sailing to and from the mainland.

Local Trip Experience Leaders and Regional Office Expertise: Explore with two different local Trip Experience Leaders—including a certified naturalist guide in the Galápagos—who are fluent in English and trained by O.A.T. on the skills needed to bring travelers off the beaten path to meet with locals who share their cultures and traditions with us. Plus, follow an itinerary that’s been carefully crafted by O.A.T.’s Ecuador office—opened in 2004.

Small Groups: No more than 16 travelers, guaranteed.

People-to-People Experiences: Spend A Day in the Life of a small village in the Amazon Basin populated by members of the indigenous Kichwa community. You'll visit a local school—supported in part by Grand Circle Foundation—and interact with the students, attend a cooking class, and tour a family farm to learn about the medicinal uses of their crops. This experience also includes a taste of Ecuador’s indigenous culture and cuisine during a Home-Hosted Lunch with a local Kichwa family.
