ProGRAM DESCRIPTION

This program offers students a unique opportunity to explore both natural and cultural wonders of Ecuador. On the Galápagos Islands—Isabela, Santa Cruz, and San Cristóbal—you'll witness the iconic wildlife that inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution, including giant tortoises, finches, and mockingbirds. Back on mainland Ecuador, the focus shifts to rich cultural exploration in Quito’s historic Independence Plaza, the equatorial Intiñan Museum, and the vibrant markets of Otavalo.
