In Quito, travelers stroll the vibrant Old Town and stand at latitude 0°0'0" at the Middle of the World. They then fly to Galapagos and board Yacht Isabela II to explore the northwestern islands: Bartolome's sweeping views of lava fields and Pinnacle Rock, Sullivan Bay's young volcanic flows, and Isabela and Fernandina, where penguins, flightless cormorants, marine iguanas, fur seals and sea turtles bring the archipelago's raw beauty to life.

This short yet unforgettable expedition aboard Yacht La Pinta explores the wild beauty of northeastern Galapagos. It begins on Santa Cruz Island, where lush highlands, lava tunnels and giant tortoises roaming in their natural habitat offer a first glimpse into the archipelago's ancient character.

Around Eden Islet, Chinese Hat, Bartolome and Sullivan Bay, you may encounter blue-footed boobies, reef sharks, Galapagos penguins and marine life, framed by the iconic silhouette of Pinnacle Rock.

The finale is Genovesa, "Bird Island," whose cliffs and coral beaches shelter thousands of seabirds, where red-footed and Nazca boobies, frigatebirds, storm petrels and the elusive short-eared owl may appear. A compact, varied journey that captures the essence of the islands in just a few days.
