Untouched by human civilization until the early 19th century, even today the Galapagos Islands remain a natural paradise teeming with flora and fauna. A voyage to this unique archipelago is a highlight of any visit to Latin America.

Intrepid Travel's Pamela Arcos explains, "Visiting the Galapagos Islands is a very special and truly unforgettable experience. You can hike the trails and admire incredible wildlife, such as blue-footed boobies and giant tortoises. See mysterious creatures like the armies of marine iguanas, flightless cormorant birds and penguins at the equator line. For those who like to snorkel, you can discover a world as wonderful as the one above the surface - colorful fish, manta rays, sea turtles, hammerhead sharks, whale sharks and magnificent reefs. Definitely the time of your life!"

About Intrepid Travel:
In 1988, young Australians Darrell Wade and Geoff Manchester threw caution to the wind, bought a rusty truck and took an epic journey across the Sahara. Somewhere between the endless sand dunes they had an idea for a style of group travel that was well out of the ordinary. Travel that took small groups to meet local people, traveled on anything that moved and to experience the Earth's most amazing places up close. Travel that was filled with real life experiences. Twenty years later, Intrepid Travel has grown from a Saharan idea to become one of the world's leading small group adventure travel companies with 600 staff globally and 400 trips in 93 countries.

Wherever we go in the world, we take a responsible attitude with us. We mostly take public transport, stay and eat in small-scale, locally-owned establishments, travel in small groups, and spread the word of sustainable tourism wherever possible.
