Cruise the Galapagos Islands with Oakton
Explore the culture of Ecuador through a travel/study program sponsored by Oakton Community College. Trips in 2006 are scheduled to depart Jan. 8, March 12, July 16, and Oct. 1.
Begin in the 450-year-old capital city of Quito and experience Jacchiqua, the Ecuadorian folklore ballet. Next, visit Oswaldo Guayasamin's gallery of contemporary paintings. Take a day trip to Calderon, home of native "bread dolls," and hike through Cuicocha, to view a lake inside the noted volcano. Enjoy a seven-day Galapagos Islands cruise that allows travelers to view the diverse wildlife and participate in hiking, snorkeling, and educational lectures. Stops include the Charles Darwin Research Station and Pinnacle Rock, the most recognized 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.
