Travel to Galapagos and Ecuador with Oakton

Explore the rich culture and natural treasures of Ecuador through a travel/study program sponsored by Oakton Community College. Trips in 2008 depart in July and October.

Begin in the 450-year-old capital city of Quito and experience Jacchigua, 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 includes outdoor adventure at the Charles Darwin Research Station and Pinnacle Rock.

Participants for this physically-demanding trip should be in good health. An optional week-long extension to Peru's Machu Picchu is offered at an additional cost.

For complete itineraries and information about upcoming 2009 tours, call Bea Cornelissen at 847-635-1812, or visit www.oakton.edu/news/first/travel.htm.
