Travel to Galapagos and Ecuador with Oakton

Explore the culture and historic natural treasures of Ecuador through a travel/study program sponsored by Oakton Community College. The last trip in 2007 departs Oct. 14.

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 includes outdoor adventure at the Charles Darwin Research Station and Pinnacle Rock.

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. Lower cost versions of this learning vacation are available for the budget-minded traveler. Alternative trips include more modest accommodations and meal packages.
