The Galápagos Islands: Cruise or Island-hopping? Two ways to explore one amazing destination!

🚤 Small-ship cruise — wake up in a different remote location each day, with guided wildlife encounters and daily landings.

🏝️ Island-hopping — stay in comfortable hotels on one or more of the islands, and take guided boat or land tours to visit wildlife sites.

Both options offer fantastic wildlife experiences — just in different ways.

2027 departures are already starting to book up on the most popular routes- so now's a great time to start planning!

Gail and John had a wonderful time on their recent tailor-made trip to Patagonia and Atacama. They shared this lovely feedback and some fantastic photos from their travels. ✨

“We had a bucket list of places to visit, especially Patagonia. Tom put together our trip based on our list. Friend recommended Andean Trails. We did look at other travel companies but liked the idea of a bespoke trip organised for us. Tom did a great job.”

“It’s difficult to pick one highlight, but probably our stay in El Chalten. The weather there was glorious and autumn colours beautiful. Hotel was nice, all the walks we did we enjoyed. Atacama was pretty special too. Overall, the landscape and scenery were amazing.”

“Guides were all great, as was organisation. Everything went to plan. Any query dealt with promptly. We particularly valued having the local contacts who kept in touch throughout.”

“We had an amazing trip, Tom. Thank you. We would certainly recommend Andean Trails. We are already thinking about our next trip!!”

We've just received these fabulous phots from Bruce's photography tour in Brazil. The group has been enjoying wonderful weather.

Photos taken by the guide, Joel, during the tours.

Bruce says "Perhaps the most beautiful place I’ve visited, Lençóis Maranhenses national park is a sand dune and lagoon complex that covers 1,500 km2. The landscape is a study of minimalism, subtle shading and warm light that is like nowhere else that I’ve been to. Being in the dune complex during the early hours of evening times can be a wonderful experience. "

Ali and Mehdi are just back from an unforgettable week in Ecuador! 🇪🇨
They went on our 8-day Ecuador Active Adventure Tour — here’s what they told us about the experience:

“We definitely enjoyed our trip. It was a private adventure, so we were able to change the program to our taste.

“Every day had a highlight, so it is hard to pick!

“We went on a challenging mountain biking route along a dirt road. We took a break to jump into the hot springs at noon! We went river rafting, which was exciting and fun, and the hikes were great.

“The accommodation in Mindo and Cotopaxi was phenomenal. The rooms, as well as the food, were outstanding.

“Thank you for this wonderful package!”

Thanks for choosing Andean Trails, Ali and Mehdi. We're glad you had such a good trip.
