Luxury and Adventure in the Galapagos

The staff was exceptional. Guides Juan and Daniel were nothing short of amazing. Their range of knowledge was exemplary, and one always felt like they had more to share if only there was more time. The food was exceptional, also, other staff, such as Carlos, the bartender, Dennis, the boat driver, Ava and Pamela, who assisted us in everything from sizing and getting us fitted for our wetsuits to handing out life vests were always friendly and smiling.'s were so yummy! The room and furnishings in the cabins were top-notch, and having my own private balcony was nothing short of luxury. activities were plentiful, and we were busier than I expected, certainly making you feel like even if you were taking a four day cruise, eight days of activities were packed into it! I highly recommend the infinity and board cruises for putting together this package, I just wish it were cheaper so I could afford to take my children with us next time!

• 8.8 Fabulous

Knowledgeable Park Guides, pleasant itinerary and good food & accommodations.

Snorkeling with sea lions & penguins. Watching the tortoises.

• 10 Exceptional

Spacious cabins on a beautiful ship

Swimming and hunting penguins, mating frigate birds, pink flamingoes, penguins and turtles.

All around awesome

The 4 day, 3 night cruise on the Infinity was excellent all around. We visited 3 islands and observed a wide breadth of ecology and geology. The highlights included snorkeling with penguins, sea lions and white tail sharks; hiking the red sand island observing the flamingos; a dingy ride around black turtle cove observing ray and turtles; and observing many birds including boobies, finches, & hawks. The guides were very knowledgeable. The cruise was action packed with activities from 7:00 am - 7:00 pm and well coordinated. There were land, sea and snorkeling activities that guests from 11 years old to 75 years old were able to do. The food was excellent and the staff was pleasant and accommodating. The cabins and common space were wonderful. Overall the boat was spacious and comfortably accommodated the 18 guests and 15 crew. This is a bucket list trip and we definitely recommend the Infinity.

Once in a lifetime exploration of the Galapagos

- Amazing, helpful, and attentive crew - Kayaking with sea turtles and penguins! - Excellent nature guides with a wealth of expertise - Wonderful food and drink

Very satisfied!

Seeing wildlife was absolutely the best part of this trip. The knowledge of the guides and the comfort of the boat also contributed to a fantastic experience. We didn't want to party as much as some of the other guests, but we just relaxed during downtime instead.

Fantastic experience

We spent 5 days aboard the Infinity and it was a wonderful experience. We had the opportunity to see many different places throughout the islands and more wildlife than we could have imagined. It was nice to have choices of activities as the fitness levels among guests differed. The food was great and there were plenty of options to suit different preferences and dietary restrictions.

This was a “bucket list” experience for us and it surpassed expectations.

The nature walk on Espanola Island was amazing (during breeding season with blue footed boobies, albatross, sea lions and iguanas, the meals were outstanding, and the staff and guests were all phenomenal people to meet. The boat was the perfect size with balconies for every room. We were very impressed.

Comfortable & well run

The guides are knowledgeable and kind and we got lucky with amazing co-passengers as well so overall between the boat, people, and amazing place, Galapagos was a favorite new destination!

INFINITY CRUISE REVIEWS

Cruise rating: 4.7 /5 - 12 customer reviews

Elizabeth, we just made it home safely and want to thank for a great trip. Everything went smoothly and the lodge and boat were top notch. Hope you had a nice New Years. Charles Blotnick January 2024 4.7

Hi Gabriela, We have just returned home after a month away visiting Ecuador, Galapagos, and Peru. Overall our stay on the Infinity was absolutely amazing and we would like to let others know this. Best wishes, Steve Daggett January 2024 4.7

Gabriela We have just returned from our trip and I just wanted to thank you for putting together such a wonderful experience. We had a brilliant time and enjoyed every aspect of the journey. The Galapagos was everything people said it was..So a big thank you. Although I would highly recommend everywhere we stayed and where we went, I think several things were unexpected and therefore even better! Our guide in Quito, Rocco, was excellent. He picked us up from the airport promptly and then we had a full day with him visiting Quito. He was an excellent guide. The boat, Infinity, was lovely. The crew and the National Park guides were professional and truly looked after their guests.I would highly recommend this boat to everyone. And last but not least, after flying from the Galapagos, staying at the Eurobuilding hotel was perfect. We showered, had a lovely meal and felt ready for the overnight flight home. We would not have thought of using a hotel for just a few hours, but again it was perfect. (Of course the animals were marvelous and all the people we met were warm and welcoming.) So once again, thank you so much for putting this trip together for us. You were great to work with. Take care, Bernice and Martin Howes June 2023 4.7

Hello Elizabeth, Thank you again for all that you did to make this the perfect trip. Absolutely everything exceeded expectations and every single detail you arranged worked exactly as expected. We particularly enjoyed our first day with Giovanny Vinansaca in Quito, who was a very personable and knowledgeable guide. He shared historical and cultural information that was interesting and useful and was the perfect beginning to our explorations. The staff of The Infinity was also extraordinary, but in particular, our nature guide, Marvi Cordova, was the highlight. He is incredibly knowledgeable and caring and a wonderful teacher. He was helpful and solicitous throughout our many excursions and helped us capture some amazing photos. Marvi added so much to the experience. Perhaps most importantly, he made us laugh and was simply fun to be with. After 5 decades of international travel, Thom and I both agreed this was the one of our most relaxing and enjoyable travel experiences and definitely the most well organized! It takes a leap of faith to wire such a large sum of money to an unknown entity, but we simply could not have been more pleased with every aspect of our adventure. So once again, heartfelt thanks to you as none of it would have happened without your assistance. I received a welcome letter from your operations director, Paulina Herrera, and hoping the above is her email, have copied her on today’s message. I will also fill out the survey I received, and perhaps it will provide me some opportunity to sing your praises again. Be well!! With heartfelt gratitude, Kathy Cullen April 2023 4.7

Elizabeth, It looks like perhaps our work together has been completed, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you again for the extraordinary customer service you have provided throughout this entire process. Your quick responses and attention to detail throughout were greatly appreciated as was your patience with what must have seemed like endless questions. Without exception, you made this seem easy and stress free, no matter the request. Thank you!! I’m not sure this adventure would have been possible for us without your valuable assistance. Wishing you well... Kathy and Thom Cullen April 2023 4.7

Hi Elizabeth, We have been home for two weeks from our wonderful trip to the Galapagos Islands that you helped us arrange and plan for. The entire experience on the tour was marvelous. We enjoyed ourselves very much and learned a lot. Everything was well planned and executed to perfection, no detail was overlooked. Thank you so much for your helpfulness in making our Galapagos experience so memorable and enjoyable! Dennis Devlin October 2022 4.7

Good morning. We are now finally returned home from our travels. Thank you for arranging a most excellent adventure! We are especially grateful for your attention to safety and moving our hotel to the airport. Everything worked out well in Quito for us. Regards, Mark & Claudia June 2022 4.7

Hello Diana. I only had 3 days at home then was off to France. I wanted to thank you for all of your efforts in making the trip so fantastic. It was a once in a lifetime experience for my clients. Everything ran so smoothly, you made my job easy! Looking forward to working together in the future. Jodi Murphy September 2021 4.7

Hi Lilian, I want to thank you for booking our trip to Quito and the Galapagos. Everything worked out great. Our guide Carlos in Quito was the best. He was very personable and informative. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. The boat and crew in the Galapagos were great as well. Thanks again for booking us an excellent trip! Lawrence Farmer October 2019 4.7

Dear Lilian, We have recently returned from our fabulous trip to Ecuador. We would like to thank you for your superb organization and advice putting the itinerary together. At all times we found you extremely helpful ,patiently answering our numerous questions in clear detail . You were always very responsive and knowledgeable in fine tuning our trip. We would highly recommend your organization , but particularly you as an agent. Thank you once again. We are very grateful. With Best wishes Sonia and Carey Sonia Redwood March 2019 4.7

Hello Elizabeth; First off let me say what a great trip you planned for my daughter and myself. We loved every minute of every day. Your attention to detail made our travel worry free. The drivers and guides were always waiting for us each step of the way. The Peru group was equal to the task.I must admit that I was a bit worried that there might be some issues. Nothing could be further from the truth. We were met at each airport and transported by careful drivers in very good vehicles. The people always waited until they were sure we were situated. The seats on each plane were perfect. The seats on Peru Rail always faced the right direction and were perfectly situated in the middle of the car. My daughter and I cannot thank you enough for making this trip a memory of a lifetime. We loved all our guides who spoke great English and were so knowledgeable about each area we visited. We will be sure to recommend your company to anyone who wants to travel to Ecuador, the Galápagos, and Machu Picchu. The Infinity was special. We loved everything about it. The crew was fantastic, our cabin was as good as it gets, the food was great, and the guides were special. Thank you so much for recommending this ship. You did a great job on our itinerary. It went like clockwork. If I ever return to Ecuador I will be sure to contact you and your company. I will be more then happy to fill out your survey and do a review for trip advisor. Warmest Regards Richard and Allison Birndorf February 2019 4.7

Diana, Thank you for your email. We really had wonderful time on our trip to Ecuador and Galápagos Islands! Everything went perfectly and the trip was unforgettable. All three day tours went well and were interesting. Infinity was a luxurious yacht - more than we imagined. The service we received from you was excellent - everything was organised professionally and efficiently. Thank you for working with us! Sure - I will fill in your survey and write my comments to Trip Advisor. Best, Niina Mikkonen January 2019 4.7

Reviews from this trip

The boat Infinity was well run and our naturalist guide and our onboard host were just as helpful.

On the ship, Hansel was absolutely the most knowledgeable and friendly person I think I have ever met!

The Infinity is a gem. The boat, its staff (Eduardo, El Capitain, Erik, Andres, Ronnie, the chef, cleaning staff) were awesome.

Colombia is a great place to visit throughout the year because of its proximity to the equator. Although the official dry season is from December to March, the Caribbean coast and Medellin experience warm, dry weather all year round. The tourist high season is December to February and areas like Santa Marta and Tayrona National Park can be crowded during this time. Generally, Colombia requires light clothing suitable for warm to hot weather. During these months, the nights in the highlands can become chilly in areas of higher altitude so travelers should pack layers for when the sun goes down.

The lowlands enjoy similar tropical temperatures year-round but more frequent rain showers occur in April to June and again in October and November.

Amazon Rainforest

The Amazon climate is wet all year long. Pack very light clothing but long sleeves and trousers to prevent mosquito bites during the evenings. It is also essential to have waterproof clothing in preparation for downpours.

What to Pack

The style of clothing worn by local Colombians generally depends on the region they inhabit. To fit in with the locals, pack a selection of light, summer-friendly options for visits to tropical Cartagena and a variety of big-city brights and fashionable nightwear for cities like Medellin and Bogota. Dressing in lightweight, easy-dry layers is a great way to stay cozy and comfortable throughout your trip to Colombia as the weather varies in each region depending on the time of day you travel.

Residents throughout Colombia pride themselves on being fashion forward and formal dress is often expected for fancy dinners and night-time activities. Male visitors may wish to purchase a Guayabera, or “fancy white shirt” after they arrive in Colombia as these garments are favored by locals and are considered acceptable attire for nearly any social situation within the country.

Where You’ll Stay

Colombia is a popular hotspot for international tourists and South American natives alike and travelers have several options for accommodations during their stay. Our personalized Colombia tours offer a wide variety of lodging experiences and guests are able to choose from a huge selection of the best Colombia hotels available. We partner with several leading accommodation providers from small hostels to five-star hotels to ensure you have the best experience possible on your trip to Colombia!

Colombia’s tourism sector has experienced huge growth over the last decade – and for good reason! Read on to learn more about the top trips and tours in Colombia at Andean Discovery!

COFFEE TRIANGLE

Coffee lovers curious about the origin of their morning buzz will love exploring eje cafetero, home to world-renowned Arabica coffee. The area’s mysterious scenery, an assortment of flora and fauna, charming Andean villages, and tasty traditional trucha (trout) will captivate the interest of people who don’t even drink the famed beverage.

Colorful colonial history, tropical Caribbean setting, and wonderful weather come together in Cartagena. Enjoy a laidback ambiance as you explore Ciudad Amurallada, one of the world’s best-preserved walled cities containing a plethora of flowers, colorful buildings, and intimate plazas. Make sure to pack your dancing shoes because Cartagena has a variety of authentic salsa joints where the bands play as their pay depends on getting people to dance.

AMAZON CALANOA LODGE

View the Amazon rainforest from the comfort of a low-impact, small-scale settlement with easy access to natural marvels. The Calanoa Project promotes respectful tourism by working with nearby indigenous communities to preserve ancestral knowledge and cultural practices. They have planted hundreds of hardwood trees, fruits and palms have been planted in order to supply food, fibers, and building materials for a self-sufficient operation. You will also enjoy Calanoa’s cuisine, a fusion of local Amazonian traditions with Brazilian, Colombian, and Peruvian influences using organic and fresh local produce.

NATIONAL PARK TOUR

One of Colombia’s most popular national parks, Tayrona National Park, encompasses the Caribbean coast from the Bahí­a de Taganga near Santa Marta to the mouth of the Rí­o Piedras. Tayrona National Park includes beaches, a rainforest, and even an arid landscape with cacti and light-brown hills in the western section. The park is home to at least 56 endangered species.

NATURE RESERVE

Birders and wildlife enthusiasts shouldn’t miss El Dorado Reserve, considered to be a Holy Grail for birding in the Americas. This 1,600-acre reserve hosts the highest concentration of continental, range-restricted bird species found anywhere in the world, just a two hours drive from the tourist city of Santa Marta. You can also find endemic and threatened amphibian specie, as well as local flora and fauna.

A historically infamous city, Medellin is now gaining attention for its incredible rebirth and inventiveness. Colombia’s second-largest city even beat cities like New York and Tel Aviv to be awarded “World’s Most Innovative City” in 2013. Known as the ‘City of Eternal Spring’, the area boasts pleasant temperatures year-round and supports lush botanical gardens in its picturesque location in the Aburrá Valley. This vibrant city is filled with public art, modernist architecture, and impressive museums, but the party really starts when the sun goes down and rhythms of Colombian Salsa and Vallenato music fill the air. This city likes to eat, drink, dance, and watch soccer in its numerous bars and restaurants.

Little is known about the natives who inhabited the area that is now Colombia before the Spanish arrived in 1500.

Shortly after arriving, the Spanish established the colony of New Granada and built the settlement of Santa Fe de Bogota, which subsequently becomes known as Bogota. These new colonies thrived and many African slaves were taken to these cities to assist with building and maintenance. After a 14-year struggle, Simí³n Bolí­var’s Venezuelan troops defeated the Spanish at the battle of Boyacá in Colombia in 1819. The resulting Republic of Gran Colombia united Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, and Ecuador as a single country under one central leader. Due to regional differences, Gran Colombia dissolved in 1829-1830 when Bolí­var lost Venezuela and Ecuador to separatists.

In the 19th century, Colombia was a troubled country and suffered eight civil wars between its liberal and conservative parties as conservatives believed in a strong central government and a powerful church while liberals believed in a decentralized government, strong regional power, and a limited role of the church. Political instability continued through the late 19th century and culminated in the War of a Thousand Days which began in 1899 and resulted in the death of nearly 120,000 people.

In the early 20th century, social legislation was introduced and Colombia was generally peaceful and without conflict – trade unions were encouraged, the economy developed and the export of coffee increased. This period of rest was short-lived however and the assassination of the well-liked and respected left-wing mayor of Bogota in 1948 caused riots and began a civil war that lasted until 1957.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the situation in Colombia improved. In 2000, the United States pledged $1.3 billion to fight drug trafficking with “Plan Colombia”. Violence in Colombia declined after 2002 when President Alvaro Uribe increased Colombia’s security, aggressively campaigned against the drug trade, and passed several economic reform bills.

In 2012, the United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement (CTPA) went into effect. This agreement eliminated tariffs and other trade barriers to the exchange of goods and services between Colombia and the United States. In the early 21st century, the Colombian economy grew rapidly and poverty and unemployment declined. Today, Colombia is booming, tourism is increasing and the country has a bright future.

History of Peru

The history of Peru (before the Inca era) as we know it today has been uncovered, in large part, through large archaeological excavation endeavors. Historical artifacts including ceramics, textiles, and cave drawings have been collected, sorted, and displayed throughout Peru’s archaeological museums – a collection of clues as to the lives of Peruvian inhabitants who lived and worked nearly 20,000 years ago. Advanced hunting tools and well-planned irrigation systems lead many to believe that these early colonies were cutting-edge, organized, and well-established.

The Incan empire ruled from around 1400 A.C. to 1500 and is widely considered one of the largest dynasties in American history before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492. This small tribe of peoples was based out of Cusco, which served as the country’s capital city throughout Inca rule. Machu Picchu is one of the most well-preserved ruins left behind by the Incan peoples, and thousands of tourists flock to visit the historical site’s peak each year. The Incas grew to be one of the largest and most powerful forces in South America and had a complex and interesting society that is well studied to this day.

Spanish soldiers arrived in the South American land in 1532 and began plotting to take over the rule of the fertile and bountiful country. These European soldiers brought smallpox and other illnesses into Peru, killing thousands of “New World” inhabitants including Huayna Capac who served as the 11th Inca or King. Capac’s sons were each given half of his kingdom and a civil war that began between the brothers helped to quicken the downfall of the Incan empire. Spanish rulers changed the capital of Peru from the land-locked Cuzco to coastal Lima to accommodate arriving soldiers and facilitate trade.

Peru’s Independence Wars were fought from 1810 until 1824 when a battle led by General Antonio Jose de Sucre secured freedom from Spanish rule. Peru continued to fight for freedom throughout the 1800s and 1900s – defeating Spanish rulers in 1866 and losing a large piece of land to Chile in a war that spanned from 1879 to 1883. A war with Ecuador in 1941 over borders wasn’t resolved until 1998 when Peru agreed to allow Ecuador access to the Amazon rainforest in exchange for keeping control over the land.

In 2001 Peru elected its first Native Indian President, Alejandro Toledo. The country has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in all of South America and thousands of tourists visit to hike, swim, shop, and to learn more about Peruvian history firsthand through the exploration of archaeological sites and artifacts each year.

What to See in Peru

Peru is one of the most popular countries for tourist travel in South America. Although visiting Machu Picchu tops the bucket list of many adventurers worldwide, seasoned explorers know that this beautiful and eclectic country is not just a one-stop destination. Learn more about the top five things to do when visiting Peru below.

MACHU PICCHU

Machu Picchu is one of the most famous archaeological sites in all of South America and the popular peak has definitely earned its reputation for awe-inspiring views. Voted one of the New 7 Wonders of the World in 2001, the “lost city of the Incas�? contains so many historical monuments and examples of Inca architecture – it’s best to have a tour guide to walk you through the history, legend and folklore surrounding this mystical place. Travel to the peak of this historical mountain by hiking, or via a spectacular train ride via Ollantaytambo train station.

CUZCO (SACRED VALLEY OF THE INCAS)

This colorful city was once the capital of the Incan empire and remains a cultural hotspot to this day. This exciting town is extremely close to Machu Picchu and provides an excellent resting point for travellers who are looking to spend a bit of down time before they hike the popular summit. Visit an indigenous market in Pisac to purchase handmade crafts and to sample authentic Peruvian foods or take a brief hike throughout the cities’ ruins that previously made up the Incas’ agricultural system.

HIKING THE INCA TRAIL

This 26 mile trek isn’t for the faint of heart – but the satisfaction gained by finishing this challenging expedition more than makes up for the struggle of navigating a historical land. From beautiful mountain scenery to tropical jungle, hikers experience the beauty and wonder of many Peruvian landscapes. Begin your hike by crossing Cusichaca (aptly named “The Bridge of Happiness�?) and plan to spend around 6-8 hours hiking over a four day period to cross the finish line and enter Machu Picchu.

LAKE TITICACA

This large and diverse lake borders Peru and Bolivia and is home to over 500 species of aquatic life. Visit the floating islands of the Uros people to learn about a unique community with a spectacular way of living – or spend time in the small town of Puno, where folklore is cherished and celebrated in weekend festivals and markets.

COLCA CANYON & AREQUIPA

Peru’s epic Colca Canyon is twice as deep as the Grand Canyon and is home to large families of spectacular Andean Condors. Plan your trip from the comfort of Arequipa, a nearby town that offers hiking, hot springs and magnificent views.

Peru is one of the most popular destinations for travelers to South America and popular tourist areas offer a variety of hotels, hostels and lodges that are as diverse and eclectic as the country itself! Our local guides have an intimate knowledge of the Peruvian landscape and know which locations provide the best experience overall for tourists and travelers alike. We partner with high-quality hotels to make sure each and every guest has the adventure of a lifetime. Read on to learn more about some of the lodging options we offer for custom tours to Peru!

Peru is one of the most diverse countries in Latin America – with warm coastal deserts, cool rainforests and even snowy mountain regions. Located south of the equator, Peru experiences weather patterns that are opposite to those experienced by individuals living on the East Coast of the United States – so cold and snowy weather in Boston is a likely indicator of warm and sunny skies in Lima. If you’re planning to see everything that this amazingly unique country has to offer, you’ll need a wide variety of clothing options to keep you comfortable throughout the trip.

The weight limit for checked luggage on most internal flights, including Cusco and the Amazon is currently 20 kilos (44 pounds) per person. If you are over that limit, you’ll likely need to pay a surcharge.

Large suitcases are not permitted on the train from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu, although these cases can be stored securely at the lodge during excursions. A small weekend bag is recommended as you’ll need a change of clothes and essential items when travelling to Machu Picchu overnight.

The typical dress code throughout the country is functional and casual – female travellers may want to bring one dress and a pair of dressier sandals for night-time outings or fancy dinner reservations.

Packing lightweight layers is an easy and effective way to make sure you’re prepared for any climate – fabrics should be waterproof whenever possible to allow for protection during short and sudden rainstorms.

Best time to visit Peru

Peru is made up of three distinct geographical subsections, each with their own weather and temperature patterns. The country is split (N to S) by the Andes mountains and contains parts of the Amazon jungle in the East. Although each of these locals experiences slightly different weather patterns, November through March is generally considered to be the “Wet season�? and April through October is generally considered to be the “Dry season�? throughout the entire country. Read on to learn more about the best times to visit Peru on your next vacation!

COASTAL REGION

Temperatures are generally warm throughout the year and the coastal region usually experiences little rainfall. High daytime temperatures (80+ F) and lower nighttime temperatures (50+ F) make for a relaxing vacation. The city of Lima can get quite foggy from April through October but the sun breaks through clouds the further out from Lima you travel. The capital city is warm and humid from November through March.

ANDES / MACHU PICCHU

Expect high temperatures and dry climates from April through October – although temperatures vary by altitude so light layers are encouraged for those planning to visit the peaks of Machu Picchu. Sudden, heavy showers occur from November through March so raincoats are a must.

AMAZON RAINFOREST

Humidity is high throughout the year and rainfall should be expected from November through March. Warm days and cool nights demand layers for travelers who expect to be outside for long periods of time.

History of Ecuador

Ecuador’s written history as we know it today begins with the concentration of early cultures of indigenous peoples throughout coastal areas that supported the majority of inhabitants from as far back as the year 9000 B.C. These early pioneers lived relatively peaceful lives in small clans and large tribes who survived by fishing, hunting, and eventually farming on the region’s fertile land. These wandering tribes eventually settled down into permanent societies including the Valdivia peoples who created intricate ceramic pottery creations, the Quitus peoples (after whom Quito is named) and the Caras who enjoyed considerable power and prestige in the region until the mid 1400’s when the small country was invaded by the Incas of Peru.

The Incas were ruthless in their pursuit of power over Ecuadorian land and many lives were lost defending the area – to no avail. Quechua, an Inca language still widely spoken in Ecuador was introduced to natives at this time and many great buildings and cities were built throughout the region. The Inca empire enjoyed its rule over Ecuador until the mid 1500’s when Spanish forces took the land in yet another series of bloody battles that ultimately led to the total conquering of Ecuadorian peoples. A period of enslavement ensued, and Spanish rulers continued to profit from the work of Ecuadorian citizens until major worldwide financial depressions caused economic downfall in the period between 1700 and 1800.

This collapse allowed for the possibility of native revolt and Ecuadorians from all walks of life banded together to retake the cities once ruled by their ancestors. Ecuador became fully independent in 1830 – but internal power struggles created a period of instability and fear. Democratic leadership and free elections in the 20th century helped to create a more peaceful society that has prospered over time – and tourism quickly became one of the fastest growing industries in this small South American hotspot.

We work hard to ensure that each and every guest is given a safe and comfortable room that acts as a home-away-from-home throughout your stay. Read on to learn more about the lodging options we offer in Ecuador!

Ecuador Packing List

Ecuador’s unique landscape includes four diverse subregions that all have individual weather patterns and climates – so travelers should consult with their individual itineraries to pinpoint which areas they will visit during their stay. Although some areas (like Guayaquil and the Ecuadorian Amazon region) experience extremely high, humid temperatures at times during the year, other locations (like the country’s’ capital city, Quito) have consistently mild temperatures that hover below seventy degrees (fahrenheit) throughout the year.

If you are travelling to several regions during your stay, packing a suitcase full of light layers can help to accommodate temperature changes and keep you comfortable during your stay. Some areas at high-elevations experience light snowfall during the winter months, so a fleece jacket is recommended for travel during that time. All fabrics should be quick-drying as short rainshowers are common in many areas around the country.

The primary currency used in Ecuador is the US dollar and many personal-hygiene items are available for purchase so don’t bother loading your suitcase full of shampoo, toothpaste or the like. Purchasing clothing and shoes can be difficult, especially large sizes, as the average Ecuadorian is shorter than US travelers. No matter what region you will visit during your stay, make sure to pack a pair of comfortable walking shoes that have been broken in before your trip to ensure comfort throughout your visit.

When to Visit Ecuador

Ecuador is a small country with a hugely diverse population and a wide variety of biologically unique plants and animals. The peak travel season for tourists runs from June through September and from December through January – although stable weather patterns create a friendly environment for visitors throughout the year. There are four major climate zones in Ecuador, so tourists are able to plan travel around the current climate of each zone.

The Andes Region, including Quito and the Andean Highlands experiences cool and dry temperatures throughout the winter season which lasts roughly from June through September. Warmer temperatures are enjoyed during the summer months (December through March) but this time period is also considered the country’s rainy season so visitors can expect to experience a few showers during their travels.

The Amazon region experiences rainfall year round but temperatures are generally high – reaching 90+ degrees fahrenheit throughout the year. Heading towards the Pacific Coast region, travelers can expect high temperatures and sunny days, mixed in with short rainshowers during the day. Cooler temperatures and cloudy skies from June to September mean it will be too chilly to swim during the dry season in this area.

Finally, the Galapagos Region experiences dry weather and cool temperatures from June to December with rainy conditions and warmer weather starting in late December and lasting until May.

The 15 Most Iconic Species of the Galapagos

The Galapagos Islands Wildlife & Nature – a Trip Approach: The Galapagos Islands , named after the shells of saddleback Galapagos tortoises, is a mind-blowing experience. The animals have no instinctive fear of humans, allowing you amazingly close encounters with unique species. Nowhere else in the world can you experience such a diverse group of wildlife in such close proximity: swim and snorkel with sea lions, watch a penguin waddle into the water, scuba dive with hammerhead sharks, stand right next to two male iguanas fighting for a mate, view a waved albatross, with its 8-foot wingspan, soar along coastal cliffs, and ponder a 400-pound giant Galapagos Tortoises

Andean Discovery has compiled this handy list of the 15 most iconic Galapagos species. Whether you choose to do a Galapagos land-based tour or a Galapagos cruise , you are sure to have the wildlife experience of a lifetime.

Galapagos Islands Descriptions

Located 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, the Galápagos Islands are made up of 13 main islands and 48 islets. Scattered over an area of 36,000 square miles around the equator, none of the islands have ever been connected by land to any mainland area. The Islands are entirely volcanic and are considered to be one of the largest and most active sets of oceanic volcanoes in the world. The formation of the Islands began between three and five million years ago, very “young” in geologic terms. Volcanic eruptions broke through the ocean floor and initiated the building of underwater mountains, which continued to grow with successive eruptions and form the Galapagos Islands. The islands are still active today with new eruptions typically occurring in the western part of the archipelago.

History of the Galapagos

The first visitors to the Galapagos Islands were Native Americans from mainland South America . The islands bear no archaeological remains of dwellings or other structures, so it is quite unlikely that any native colonies were ever established there. Pirates and renegades first inhabited the islands during the early 1500s. They would hide and camp out on the islands after raiding Spanish colonial ports. Due to their inhospitable nature and lack of water, the Spanish paid the islands little attention, giving them the name “Las Encantadas” or bewitched islands.

A new period began in 1832 when Ecuador proclaimed its sovereignty over the islands. There were only a handful of permanent settlers at that time but their number had increased to around 300 by 1835 when the HMS Beagle arrived with Charles Darwin on board. Darwin spent five weeks in the Galapagos collecting and preserving specimens from four separate islands. His field observations led him finally to conclusions published in On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859. The first Galapagos colony was established on the island of Floreana. The archipelago experienced many attempted settlements from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century by individuals from Norway, the US, and the UK. During World War II, a United States Army Air Force base was established on Baltra Island. From Baltra, crews patrolled the eastern Pacific for enemy submarines and provided protection for the Panama Canal.

Paddle the shores while kayaking where Darwin first set foot on our  Galapagos Multisport Adventure  or board a  Galapagos Cruise  to navigate the archipelago.

GALAPAGOS LUXURY BOATS

Luxury Boats boast deluxe sleeping cabins, spacious common areas, delicious international cuisine, and unmatched personal attention. An excursion aboard a Luxury Boat ensures you superior Galapagos Naturalist Guides who are eager to share the islands with you. Luxury Boats range in size from 100-passenger ships to 16-passenger yachts and catamarans. No matter which boat you choose, you will have access to several amenities, such as mini-pools, jacuzzis, glass bottom boats, and libraries.

Galapagos cruise ships are the largest vessels to sail the Islands and tend to be more luxurious and more stable in the water than most smaller yachts in the Galapagos. Cruise ships carry between 40 and 100 passengers, so they are still small compared to cruise ships that sail in other parts of the world, though it enables you to enjoy the Galapagos free of crowds.

FIRST CLASS BOATS

Take a cruise through the Galapagos Islands in one of our Galapagos first class boats, yachts, and catamarans such as the Galapagos Archipell I Catamaran , Millennium Catamaran ,  Eric, Letty and Flamingo , and more. First-class level cruises offer an excellent combination of value for your money and quality. Relax on the sun deck and soak in the beauty of the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the unique wildlife that the Galapagos has to offer in a more private setting.

Galapagos Packing List

Perfecting a packing list for the Galapagos can be difficult – even for the most seasoned traveler. The close proximity of these small islands to their home country of Ecuador means that domestic flights will likely be utilized at some point during the trip – so packing light is a must for individuals who wish to make weight limits for their flights! Individuals who will be flying from Quito should dress appropriately for the cool weather in the Ecuadorian town – a waterproof jacket is ideal and can be used several times throughout your trip.

The fewer things you actually bring on your trip to the Galapagos, the better – but tours often begin or end in other destinations that might require more substantial luggage arrangements. Packing a small, lightweight backpack that can act as a weekend bag is a great way to make sure you aren’t stuck with a ton of luggage on your trip. The Island’s proximity to the equator makes them a prime target for harsh sun rays, so a high UV blocking sunscreen is absolutely essential for any traveler who visits during the day.

Water shoes can be useful in protecting feet from coral and plant life so plan on packing an already-broken-in pair of comfortable sandals. If you’re heading out on a Galapagos cruise or chartered boat, make sure to speak with the captain to learn more about the luggage storage options available during your trip!

Galapagos Cruise vs. Land-Based

When making this once-in-a-lifetime trip, travelers have two main options to explore the islands: either through a land-based trip or a boat-based cruise through the islands. Find out what to expect and the relative advantages of each so you can choose the best option for making your Galapagos dreams come true.

What to Expect on a Galapagos Cruise

Your home for the duration of your Galapagos visit will be a live-a-board boat of your choice, ranging in size from 16-100 passengers. You will eat, sleep and relax on this vessel, which will be your base for the duration of your 4, 5, or 8-day expedition. Each morning, after a hearty breakfast, you will disembark into a 16-passenger dinghy, known locally as a “Panga” The Panga will take you for wildlife excursions, either onshore, or at snorkel sites. Your Galapagos naturalist guide will deepen your understanding and appreciation of the local wildlife, either on land or in the Galapagos Marine Reserve. After a morning of close encounters with some of the famous species of the area, you return to the boat for lunch and to prepare for the next excursion as the vessel navigates to another visitor site. Usually, your afternoon excursion will take you to a completely different island to add a whole new perspective to your Galapagos experience.

Advantages of A Cruise:

• Once you arrive in the archipelago, you can unpack your bags once and for all you’ll stay in the same room on the vessel for the entirety of your stay.
• Cruises are the most efficient way to visit the archipelago, especially remote islands without any human habitation.

What to Expect on A Galapagos Land-Based Trip

On land-based trips, you stay in eco-lodges or hotels in the port towns on the islands of Isabela, Santa Cruz, and San Cristobal. While you don’t visit as many islands as a cruise-based trip, land-based trips allow you to explore fewer islands in greater depth. From your land-based, you can get intimately acquainted with the island, independently exploring the wonders of the Galapagos in a small, private group with a Galapagos naturalist guide. Although it is impossible to visit as many islands as you would by sea, land-based trips will allow you to enjoy a variety of activities. For example, in the evenings relish fresh seafood at a family-run eatery then go for a sunset walk on Isabela’s beach and observe marine iguanas crawling out of the ocean onto the pristine white sand. During the day, active explorers might opt for sea kayaking, hiking on a dormant volcano, or mountain biking among coastal mangroves.

Advantages of a Land-Based Trip:

• Land-based excursions allow you to spend more time on each island, with opportunities to visit multiple sites and engage in a variety of activities.
• You will have more flexibility to experience the islands according to your own schedule and interests.

Both of these modes of exploration will allow you to meet most, if not all, of the iconic Galapagos species and expose you to many of the island’s distinct treasures. While your preference may depend on whether you prioritize flexibility or efficiency in visiting multiple islands, you cannot go wrong with either way of experiencing this extraordinary place.

Best time to visit galapagos, wildlife year-round.

Because most of the wildlife remains on the islands year round, there’s always a lot to see. No matter when you visit, you’re guaranteed to encounter one of the highest concentrations of wildlife on the planet!

The Galapagos Islands have a sub-tropical climate with two seasons, the Hot Season and the Dry Season. The seasons on the islands are set and defined entirely by the ocean currents that surround them. The Hot Season starts in December and gradually works its way until May . During this season, warm waters from the Panama Current move south and bath the islands creating tropical conditions. Seas are generally calm, and the warmer temperatures and evaporation cause occasional tropical showers, which turn the islands green and lush. Air temperatures are hot and humid and range from 79 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The water temperature averages 77 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a great time to enjoy the warmer waters for snorkeling and to view green sea turtles that come into the islands to breed.

From June to November, the cooler Humboldt Current runs up the west coast of South America carrying rich oceanic upwellings from Antarctica that stimulate the breeding season for sea lions and sea birds. A desert spreads gradually in this tropical paradise. Evaporation decreases and this forms a thin layer of clouds over the islands that opens and closes throughout the day. This is known as the Dry Season with air temperatures ranging from 72 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit and sea temperatures averaging 67 degrees Fahrenheit (a wetsuit is recommended for snorkeling). This is the best time of year for observing dancing boobies, courting albatrosses, baby sea lions, whales, dolphins, and whale sharks.

Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime holiday in the Galapagos aboard a 161-foot luxury yacht: the Infinity. Built in 2018 and clad in gleaming wood tones and classic yacht style with a modern twist, this ship is exactly what you envision an upscale cruise to be.

Life Aboard The Infinity Motor Yacht Galapagos

Greet the day on your private balcony before heading to the indoor dining room for a bountiful buffet breakfast. From there, the day spills out before you, mixing adventures ashore and in the water with moments of peace and relaxation aboard the ship. Perhaps you will relax on the sun deck while a Frigatebird flies overhead, or maybe you will sip a cocktail from the outdoor bar while soaking in the Jacuzzi.

If you crave a bit of time away from the sun, you may opt to watch a film on the comfortable couch in the indoor lounge or nap in your spacious cabin. The Infinity features eight cabins, plus two larger suites, so there is a room that is right for everyone. At night, feast on a gourmet meal prepared by the ship’s chef or enjoy a casual barbeque at the alfresco dining area on the sundeck.

Excursions From Your Infinity Galapagos Cruise

The Galapagos Islands are a magnet for wildlife lovers, and the four itineraries offered aboard the Infinity offer up-close encounters with the island’s most famous inhabitants. Each itinerary mixes major sites and the most popular spots with less-traveled areas of unspoiled beauty. A highlight of the four-day cruise is sure to be a visit to Darwin Bay on Genovese Island.

Starting on a white sand beach, take an easy hike through mangroves, searching for red-footed boobies and swallow-tailed gulls. Venture a bit further, and you will be rewarded by the sight of sea lions playing in tide pools. During the five-day itinerary, you will be thrilled by a visit to Suarez Point on Espanola Island. Here, a blowhole shoots water high into the air while waved albatrosses use the cliff face as a landing pad.

Can’t choose between the shorter itineraries? There’s no need to since the eight-day “A” cruise combines them into one in-depth exploration of the islands. However, the eight-day “B” cruise opens up a whole new realm of possibility and features five stops along Isabela Island, with other islands sprinkled in as well. During a two-hour dingy ride from Elizabeth Bay, you will explore the mangrove forest, see blue-footed boobies and watch penguins waddle over the rocky inlets. You might even be privileged to see a shark or two.

Regardless of which itinerary speaks to you, your days will be filled with morning and afternoon excursions and plenty of snorkeling and hiking. During activities, two naturalist guides with expert knowledge will answer all your questions and make your time in the Galapagos is full of magical memories.

Small Group Size For A Personalized Experience

The Infinity might be big on both style and adventure, but you will enjoy it all with just 20 passengers. This small group allows plenty of space to spread out, both on the ship and during excursions. The Infinity is also home to 10 crew members plus an additional cruise director. This low crew-to-guest ratio, which surpasses many other boats in the region, ensures personalized service. While aboard the Infinity, you will want for nothing.

Whether you want to disconnect during a peaceful escape from the rest of the world or seek to explore a place few ever have the opportunity to see, the Infinity provides the ultimate floating retreat in the Galapagos.

Itineraries & Prices

All itineraries are subject to change due to seasonal weather conditions (and resultant variations in river and tributary water levels) affecting accessibility to locations. Thus navigation routes, times and excursions may need to be modified at the cruise captain’s or your guide's discretion.

4 Day - Northern & Central Islands

Embarkation

AM:  You will arrive at Baltra Island in the morning. After passing through immigration and baggage claim, you will be met by the Infinity Galapagos staff and transferred to the yacht.

PM:  In the afternoon we will head on to Black Turtle Cove which is situated in the northern part of Santa Cruz. This inlet is surrounded by mangroves and is only accessible by dinghy. The shallow cove is a haven for young marine life. Black-tip and white-tip reef sharks, sea turtles, and a variety of rays are often spotted here.

Prince Phillip’s Steps & Darwin Bay

AM : In the morning, you will visit El Barranco (also known as Prince Phillip's Steps). El Barranco’s steep, rocky paths lead up to a high cliff-face. A marvelous view can be appreciated from here. This site is also home to palo santo vegetation as well as red-footed boobies, short-eared lava owls, Galapagos swallows, and Galapagos doves.

PM : In the afternoon, you will visit Darwin Bay. This white-sand coral beach heads a half-mile trail that winds through mangroves filled with land birds. Nazca boobies, red-footed boobies, and swallow-tailed gulls can be spotted here. Further down the path are tidal pools where sea lions swim playfully. At the end is a spectacular view off a cliff.

Sullivan Bay & Rabida Island

AM:  A coral beach landing leads you towards a lava field as far as the eye can see. Hunt and peck over the two distinguished types of lava, pahoehoe and 'a'a, for signs of plant life that have managed to emerge over the past 100 years since the most recent volcanic explosion. A truly amazing volcanic experience…up close and personal!

Infinity | Yacht

The Infinity is one of the newest Galapagos Cruise yachts in the luxury category. Its design is the most modern and sumptuous in the archipelago. Feel comfortable and free while enjoying the beautiful landscapes. Take a moment to rest in the private balcony that each cabin has. Or maybe take a rest in the ample sun deck after walking around Galapagos.

The infinity crew was selected carefully to ensure the best experience in your trip. Also, you will have two tour guides during your journey, this private service for sure will enhance your adventure. The Galapagueño Ortiz family imported the M/V Infinity after retiring the Galaven which was their signature boat for over 20 years, this experience can be seen in every detail they put in preparing the boat for the archipelagos waterways. It is also nice to know you are supporting entrepeneurship through a locally owned operation. Voyagers Travel holds a long standing relationship with the Ortiz, our local agents got to know the boat when it was being customized in Guayaquil and were invited on one of the maiden voyages.
