Experience Ecuador on Oakton Travel/Study Tour
Discover the life and culture of Ecuador by participating in a travel/study program offered by Oakton Community College. Excursions in 2005 are scheduled: Jan. 9 - 22, March 13 - 26, July 17 - 30, and Oct. 2 - Oct. 15.
Begin in the 450-year-old capital city of Quito where travelers will experience Jacchiqua, the Ecuadorian folklore ballet, and visit Oswaldo Guayasamin's gallery of contemporary paintings. Take a day trip to Calderon, home of native "bread dolls," and hike through the Cuicocha volcano to view the lake inside before walking the street markets of San Antonio de Ibarra to enjoy the famous woodcarvings.
Finally, a seven-day cruise of the Galapagos Islands allows participants to view the diverse wildlife and participate in hiking, snorkeling, and educational lectures. Island stops include Baltra, home of the Charles Darwin Research Station, and Bartolome Island to view Pinnacle Rock, the most recognized Galapagos landmark.
This trip includes multiple physical activities and is recommended for people in good health. An optional trip to Peru's Machu Picchu is also available for an additional cost. For complete itineraries and more information, call Bea Cornelissen at 847-635-1812.
