Complete Loop of the Galapagos
A 15-day Galápagos cruise aboard Natural Paradise, calling at San Cristóbal, South Plaza, Santa Cruz, Rábida, Bartolomé, Santiago. On Española, the oldest and arguably the greenest of the Galápagos Islands, incredible hikes await. You will get to see many endemic species, including the Española Mocking Bird, the Española Lava Lizard, and, hopefully, the famous Waved Albatross. Fernandina, the youngest island, will blow your mind with its rugged lava landscapes. The youngest island in the archipelago, it is still being formed by volcanic eruptions and makes for a wonderful, otherworldly contrast to the other islands.
