The strange landscape of South PlazaArriving in the Galapagos, I felt like John Smith arriving in the New World. After flying for two hours over 600 miles of Pacific Ocean, I caught my first glimpses of the alienesque archipelago: a strange, barren wasteland which, contrary to everything I know about it, looked completely desolate and void of life (minus the airport, which loomed in the distance). The lyrics to Disney’s Pocahontas crossed through my mind as I stared out the window: All of my life, I have searched for a land / Like this one / A wilder, more challenging country / I couldn't design / Hundreds of dangers await / And I don't plan to miss one / In a land I can claim / A land I can tame / The greatest adventure is mine
Granted, I was headed towards a luxury cruise and hardly had waterfalls to scale, but a similar awe of the islands was present as I crossed into the airport with my INGALA card and camera in hand, eager and restless to head out to discover the land of tortoises for myself.
Working with Mary was a pleasure. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and persistent in getting my clients the best deal.

Staff on ship (Alya), food, rooms, excursions and naturalist (Alex) were all top notch!

We loved our time aboard the Angel. Beautiful boat and crew. Naturalist Jose Luis was incredible-very knowledgeable and thoughtful. He adapted tours to our group and we all had an amazing trip. Love staying a the quaint hacienda and the recommended activities.

Amazing assistance! Kevin and his team were so helpful and really gave us great advice. They quickly understood exactly what we were looking for and within a matter of days we had booked our holiday of a lifetime. I would definitely recommend to others.

The pre-planning and execution of the plan was excellent. They were even able to help get glasses returned when a member or our party left them in a hotel.
