2026 Alumni & Friends Travel to Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands!
Our 2026 Alumni and Friends group trip is Ecuador & Galapagos Islands Cruise. It is set for June 15-25, 2026. Dates will be announced soon. The 10-day trip begins in Quito, Ecuador and includes a cruise with six stops in the Galapagos Islands.
Ecuador puts new meaning behind the saying, “good things come in small packages.” In terms of flora, fauna, and opportunities for viewing unique local wildlife, this South American country runs the gamut. Journey to Quito for a taste of Ecuadorean culture and Spanish colonial history. Then, island hop through the Galápagos, where you’ll move from mangrove swamps to lava flows to sunny shorelines, encountering scores of exotic creatures along the way. End in the indigenous city of Otavalo, famous for its colorful market. The additional 5-day extension for this trip is June 24-30 to Lima, Peru and the incredible Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
