Galapagos and Machu Picchu on Oakton Itinerary

Explore the culture of Ecuador through a travel/study program sponsored by Oakton Community College. Trips in 2006 depart July 16 and Oct. 1.

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.
