Quito, Sacha Lodge and the Amazon rain forest; the Galapagos

Our Galapagos \'\'multisport\'\' adventure - not a lounging vacation. It was the trip of a lifetime that I can\'t wait to do again!

Rolfing family trip to the Galapagos: after a whirlwind tour of quito, my family (my parents, brother and my husband) boarded a flight to the land of the unknown... a land we had dreamed about since our last south american family adventure in the early 90\'s. none of us knew what to expect but we were filled with excitement as we realized we were actually, finally, visiting the Galapagos islands.

Ashley and Cody experienced the wonderful hospitality of the quaint Haciendas of Ecuador on their trip. Then the were off to visit the Galapagos and take in the extraordinary wildlife of the islands aboard the ELF.

I was fortunate enough to experience the Galapagos Islands, but even better my parents were able to join me! We took the 10 day Galapagos cruise on the Mary Anne sailboat that gave us the true seafaring experience.

The landscape, the animals, the ship, and the service - all were outstanding!

Another chapter in what I like to call the Adventures of Fodder and Son. My 9 year-old boy and I are traveling to the Galapagos Islands to swim with the fishes in a non-mafia hit kind of way.

The words \"Adventure Life\" certainly described this hiking tour of Galapagos. Adventures were had from day 1 through the final return,WHAT FUN!!

Its exciting, to say the least, to fly out of Quito, Ecuador, since the city sits in a bowl high in the Andes, surrounded by mountain peaks, with the airport nestled right next to downtown. Soon we were up and over, on our way to a short stop in Guayaquil, and then on to Baltra, our first island in the Galapagos.

Galapagos Cruise: Through Adventure Life, my friends and I flew into Quito and on to the Galapagos Islands, where we spent 8 days on a 215\' square rigger sailing yacht, exploring the islands with an ecologist. What an adventure!

How do you sum up a trip to the Galapagos? A birders paradise? A zoo without cages? Neither of the previous statements do Darwins Islands any justice. The Flamingo I, our vessel for the week, took us on an expedition to see and experience as much of the Galapagos as we possible could.
