Manta, Ecuador
This intriguing country boasts an array of vibrant indigenous cultures, well-preserved colonial architecture and natural scenery ranging from volcanic landscapes to dense rainforest. Take a trip to fascinating Montecristi, where the Panama hat was first created, or maybe even visit Machalilla National Park and discover a magnificent coastal and cloud forest habitat.
Galapagos Islands
From Ecuador we will gently cruise across the Pacific to French Polynesia. En route you can enjoy great views of the volcanic Galapagos Islands, situated on the equator some 600 miles off the coast of South America. Over the course of centuries, animal and plant life from the Americas has gradually evolved into new forms, many of which can be found nowhere else on earth. A five-week stay here in 1835 inspired Charles Darwin to write 'The Origin of the Species'.
