When it comes to creating the perfect tour for the perfect price, it's survival of the fittest-which makes this trip a natural selection: an eleven-day tour of the Amazon and the Galapagos Islands, including lodging, meals, and round-trip airfare from Seattle. This Darwinian dream trip offers a more highly evolved experience with plenty of time to take in the sights and sounds of Quito-a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Excitement reigns as you fly to the Amazon to stay in the heart of the rainforest for three fabulous nights. Expert naturalists will take you to explore the wilds of the jungle. Your investigation into the origin of species starts with a cruise of the Galapagos Islands aboard the Galapagos Legend. Adaptation is easy aboard this luxury vessel, built explicitly for touring the islands-with a well-stocked bar and delicious regional cuisine. Each day the Galapagos Legend knowledgeable naturalists await to ferry you between white coralline beaches, volcanic craters, salt lagoons, and recent lava flows. You'll walk the trails that Darwin himself once trod in search of marine iguanas, Galapagos penguins, blue-footed boobies, and nesting sea turtles. Just don't experiment with delayed gratification-because once this escape disappears, it really is extinct. Tour includes 6 flights, first class hotels, sightseeing, cruise, and most meals.
