Travel to Ecuador and Galapagos with Oakton

Explore the vast culture and natural treasures of Ecuador through a travel/study program sponsored by Oakton Community College. The final 2008 trip departs in 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 in 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.
