GALÁPAGOS
Aboard National Geographic Endeavour

December 8-17, 2012 with Peru pre-trip December 3-8, 2012
There
is something special about Galápagos, in that
it doesn’t matter what age you are or what background
you have; the archipelago provides day-in day-out  enchantment,
wonder, surprise and delight in spades. In short, Galápagos
is simply remarkable.
Journey
with us to the Galápagos Islands, located about
600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. The archipelago
is one of the world’s great remaining natural
areas, full of wonder, beauty and unusual wildlife.
You will have the unique opportunity for extraordinarily
close encounters with sea lions, penguins, tortoises,
fur seals and many kinds of seabirds. And with 97% of
the Galápagos Islands protected as national park
land, this amazing place is also one of the world’s
most important laboratories for the future of conservation,
sustainable tourism, and wildlife management. The information
we learn here forms the foundation for valuable lessons
back home.
