Discover the ancient city of Quito where you will have the opportunity to admire not only the architectural monuments but also the Presidential Palace and Colonial Churches. You will be able to choose on certain days which activity seems most engaging to you; maybe a jungle expedition to a primary forest or perhaps you would rather visit the indigenous Siona Community, the largest ethnic group in the reserve. On day five, early risers can enjoy an optional bird watching excursion before breakfast, while others can choose to rest to prepare for the transfer to the Galapagos. While you are at the Galapagos you will be able to visit the Charles Darwin Research Station, where you can see and explore the center of creation, snorkel on Sante Fe Island, or snorkel in Santa Cruz where you can see some white-tip sharks and other marine life. The final adventure you can embark on a trip to enjoy one of the largest beaches of white sand where you can swim, snorkel, kayak, surf, or even simply walk.
