Itinerary
Our shortest routes give an excellent impression of this unique 'laboratory of evolution' in case you have little time, or are on a limited budget. However, you must understand that it would be impossible to see all the highlights in just a few days, and you will probably only visit the Galapagos Islands once in your lifetime. Each island is distinctive and well worth a visit, with different landscapes and an ever-changing spectrum of adapted species.
Please note that these itineraries are subject to change without notice due to seasonal changes, last minute weather conditions and the decision of the Galapagos National Park authority.
