Galapagos and Amazon with FriendsTravel.com

Galapagos & Amazon!

A wildlife adventure to two of Mother Nature’s greatest treasures in one expedition of a lifetime: the Galapagos Islands and the Amazon.

Trip Overview

• Explore the Amazon rainforest by dugout canoe, canopy tower and jungle walks
• Meet the magnificent wild creatures of the Galapagos on a private yacht cruise
• Learn about conservation efforts to preserve Ecuador’s wealth of natural wonders

Few places on the planet boast the vibrant diversity of ecosystems that Ecuador has. Here on the equator, climate and terrain conspire to create habitats for an astounding host of species, some of which are found nowhere else in the world. On this Galapagos and Amazon rainforest trip we encounter that range, traveling from the steaming rainforest of the Amazon Basin to the volcanic outposts of the Galapagos Islands, 600 miles offshore. Ecuador’s many eco travel options and human vitality enrich our experience of its natural drama at every turn, from the marketplace at Otavalo to the indigenous communities that call the Amazon home. Our Galapagos trips offer a rare glimpse of wildlife seen no where else on earth. On this unique expedition, we’ve combined travel to the Galapagos Islands with an Amazon rainforest trip, offering you an adventure travel opportunity unlike any other.

Location of Adventure
Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

Group Size Limit: Approximately 20 Travelers
A very important feature of our Galapagos trips, particularly our combined Galapagos and Amazon rainforest trip, is the limited group size as nature expeditions to eco travel destinations in South America are best experienced with smaller sized groups of travelers.

Airline baggage fees paid directly to the airline.

First Class, Business Class and Coach airfares available with special pricing.
Physical Requirements
Easy / Flexible
Getting in and out of pangas may result in a wet boot now and again. Walking on some islands may be on uneven terrain, and hikes in the Amazon will be in humid and sometimes muddy conditions. Travelers are not required to participate in every activity.

Getting There & Getting Home
Arrive in Quito, Ecuador anytime on Day 1, and depart anytime on Day 12. We are prepared to handle all your round-trip travel arrangements, including flights for your extensions.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil with FriendsTravel.com

RIO: THE MOST AMIABLE CITY ON EARTH

Due to its numerous facets, Rio is the Brazilian tourism capital. The wonderful city, located in the Southeast Region of Brazil, with 6 million inhabitants, in an area of 1,255.3 km2, coastal line with 246.22 km2 and green area of 325.6 km2, is the mosaic of enchantments scattered between the sea and the mountain. Rio is more than one, each day it creates solutions so to provide for all wishes and tastes.

Rio’s post card is the symbol of Brazil. Corcovado, with the Christ Redeemer is running towards being one of the new 7 Wonders of the World in an international contest. And there is also the Sugar-Loaf Hill, a pleasurable trip that reveals the entire city. The emblematic tourism points are numerous, but it is important to mention the Maracanã Stadium, largest temple of the five-time champion Brazilian soccer and Passarela do samba [Samba Catwalk], where the samba-schools parade, which also participate in the largest event of the city, carnival. And, the most recent one is City of Samba, built by the Mayor’s Office of Rio de Janeiro, in an area of 114 m2, in the port area, sheltering the samba factories, where the samba schools prepare their respective parades, which take place during carnival. The City of Samba is the synthesis of carnival, the whole year, given that it hosts daily spectacles, workshops and other attractions.

Rio was chosen after research carried out by the universities of Michigan and California, as the city with the most amiable people in the world. This is the biggest secret of the wonderful city, the carioca spirit, which turns all urban spaces into mosaics of different attractions. Rio mirrors the beaches, mountains, green areas, outdoor sports, and events such as New Year’s party réveillon, carnival and so many others. Rio is historic, cultural, daytime-oriented, and nightlife-oriented. It has many flavors. It is for all ages. Rio is like one of its symbols, the Christ Redeemer, with its arms wide opened to welcome its visitors.
