Galapagos Islands - 2022

Mother-Daughters trip to the Galapagos!

Ahhh the Galapagos, a bucket list item for probably 80% of the population! Heather and her 2 girls have had this in the works for a couple years now (darn COVID) and finally got to experience the trip at long last in July. The Galapagos Islands are part of Ecuador, just a quick plane jump away from Quito. Often they are seen via small ship cruise, however Heather and her girls opted for land based to ensure they could room together.

They visited three of the islands - Santa Cruz, Floreana, and Isabela, and enjoyed kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking to get up close and personal to the unique animals that call the Galapagos home. They saw pelicans, penguins, blue footed boobies, and of course tortoises - and probably more! They also got to experience the Middle of the World with a tour of the Equator line back in Quito.
