From budgets to must-try food and amazing sites to see, we have got you covered. This blog is an in-depth guide to traveling and planning a trip to Ecuador.

Located 600 miles off the west coast of South America, in a remote part of Ecuador, this extensive group of islands is home to some of the most unusual wildlife you’ll ever see. Animals such as giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, and marine iguanas, have evolved to survive in an isolated environment and can’t be found anywhere else on Earth. Check out what you shouldn’t miss when you come to the Galapagos.

Exploring the Galapagos Islands can be done in a number of different ways. The most popular way is to take a cruise, but there are also land based tours and independent travel options that allow you to explore several islands at once. While taking a cruise is sure to be a convenient option, it will also limit the amount of time that you have on land to view wildlife, cultural sites or engage with the local population.
