Galapagos and Ecuador on Oakton Itinerary

Explore the culture and historic natural treasures of Ecuador through a travel/study program sponsored by Oakton Community College. Trips in 2007 depart in January, March, July, and October.

Begin in the 450-year-old capital city of Quito and experience Jacchiqua, the Ecuadorian folklore ballet. Visit Oswaldo Guayasamin's gallery of contemporary paintings, and take a day trip to Calderon, home of native "bread dolls." Enjoy a seven-day Galapagos Islands cruise that allows travelers to take part in outdoor adventures and educational lectures. Stops include the Charles Darwin Research Station and Pinnacle Rock, the preeminent Galapagos landmark.

This trip requires much physical activity and is recommended for travelers in good health. An optional weeklong extension to Peru's Machu Picchu is offered at an additional cost.
