Trekking in Galapagos Islands

Trekking on the Galápagos and Ecuador expedition provides you with the best of both worlds.  Ecuador is a stunning country offering an assorted landscape of jungles, mountains and coastline.  Almost 1000m west of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean is the Galápagos Islands, providing one of the most unique wildlife habitats on the planet. Combine the two for a trekking experience of a lifetime.

Trekking in Galápagos is an inspiring experience that will captivate challengers whilst providing an endless learning opportunity.  Come face to face with sea lions, giant tortoises and blue footed boobies on the amazing archipelago of volcanic islands as you explore the flora and fauna of the islands.

Trekking in Galápagos and Ecuador - acclimatisation phase Upon arrival you will spend time settling into Ecuador, gaining confidence and preparing your fitness for the challenge ahead.  A wide range of short treks are available. With mountains to ascend, lakes to visit and cloud forests to explore the acclimatisation phase promises to be as much fun as the main trek.

Trekking in Galápagos and Ecuador – main phase

The main trekking phase can be selected depending on the objectives of your group.  If you are up for a challenge then there are a range of volcano summits to reach.  Equally as exciting are the opportunities to explore the Amazon rainforest in depth. Travel on foot and canoe, camping in bamboo huts as night falls. Become immersed in nature and learn from the expert local guides.  Whichever route you decide to take you will be able to enjoy the scenery whilst looking forward to trekking in the Galápagos Islands afterwards.

Trekking in Galápagos - project work A number of worthwhile projects are available for groups to participate in.  Possibly one of the most rewarding is working on one of many Galápagos conservation projects. Raise environmental awareness, promote sustainable agriculture and help on specific conservation initiatives. The UNESCO World Heritage site needs preserving for future generations and you can help to achieve this.
