Message from owner Judie Muggia
The Galápagos Islands and Ecuador have been a second home to me, as my
husband grew up in Quito before coming to the states to study and practice medicine.
Our valued friends, on the mainland and in the islands, mean a great deal to me and
to our clients! Your successful trip to this magical place will depend on the safe
arrangements we make for you – on land and sea – and on the excellent, bi-lingual
guide on whom you can depend for a depth of knowledge. The Galápagos Islands, a
UNESCO World Heritage, is unique in the variety of flora and fauna with which you
will come in very close proximity.
Though famous, primarily, for its
"Crown Jewel" the Galápagos Islands,
Ecuador is also a little-known "jewel"
of the Andes. Blessed with several
climatic zones, the mainland will offer
you unforgettable experiences on the
Pacific shore, in the cities and villages,
the magnificent Andes, the jungle
region on the Napo River Amazon
tributary and much more! Ecuador is a bird-watcher's, photographer's, archeologist's
and historian's paradise. Yes, we can plan your desired extension to Machu Picchu
and other South American destinations, but do, please, consider getting to know
Ecuador!
Here you will meet some of the sunniest people in south America, where you don't
need to worry about a currency exchange and where you will build a store of
memories and photos without compare.
And remember, at Galápagos Direct, I do not sell set "packages". I personally plan
the trip you dream of, taking into consideration your age, fitness level, personal
interests, time frame and budget.
