Galapagos Islands (5 & 8 day cruises departing Sundays and Thursdays)One of the world's greatest treasures of natural history lies in the bewitching Galapagos Islands, famed for its fearless and unique wildlife, and is the highlight of most trips to Ecuador.

The Galapagos Islands have been named after the giant Galapagos Tortoises. The archipelago, 1000 Km. (600 miles) off Ecuador's Pacific Coast originated from undersea volcanic activity, six million years ago. The archipelago's 13 major islands, 6 smaller ones, and scores of islets are all part of Ecuador's National Park system. In 1835, the English naturalist Charles Darwin visited the islands and discovered this "living laboratory" which inspired his writings on the Theory of Evolution. Many of the animals on the Galapagos Islands have developed into different species from their continental relatives, and because they have never experienced man as a predator, they show no fear of humans. The world's most wondrous group of islands is yours for unhurried exploration. Follow the nature trails; enjoy the amazing sights, wade and even dive among the animals of land and sea.

The 16 passenger Aida Maria is an ideal vessel to explore the islands and offers a great combination of comfort, style and economy for tours in the Galapagos.

Each of the eight double cabins has a private bath and hot shower, air conditioning and an ample external deck to enjoy sunny Galapagos days

As the Chiva Express advances along the ancient railway, the mood aboard makes you adjust to another tempo, and leisurely enjoy the way of traveling of past centuries.

One of the highlights of the trip is to "ride the roof" with a panoramic view of the stunning Andean region of Ecuador.
