Quito (2 nights)

Your luxury tour of Ecuador starts on the mainland in Quito, where your personal host will greet you after your international flight arrival in the evening. They will accompany you by private transfer to Casa Gangotena, a luxurious boutique hotel in the historical center of Quito. On the first full day of your journey, you’ll explore Ecuador’s historical capital. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is nicknamed “the Florence of South America” for the artistic traditions of its colonial period. Visit the city’s picturesque churches and indulge in gourmet meals. Blue Parallel will provide you with exclusive access to the Convent of Santo Domingo in the evening, an opulent church constructed in a Latin American Baroque style, known for its breathtaking interiors and beautiful views of the city from its rooftop.

Galapagos Islands, Private Yachting (7 nights)

Embark on your Galapagos Islands private yacht tour and island-hop through the archipelago in complete luxury. Blue Parallel will select the specific vessel based on the particular needs of your group. All feature a minimum of six en-suite cabins for a capacity of 12 passengers. In addition, your group will have access to ample outdoor and indoor lounge space, sundecks, bar and dining areas, as well as hydraulic stabilizers for a smooth ride. The yacht will be fully staffed with an attentive captain, crew, and chef who will customize the menu to your particular tastes and preferences.

Each day of your luxury tour brings a new adventure as you explore different islands and bays with expert bilingual naturalist guides. Outdoor activities include hiking, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and more. Your onboard naturalist guides will customize the activity level according to your profile as they accompany you exploring the islands’ famous wildlife.

As the Ecuadorian government highly regulates itineraries on all Galapagos cruises to minimize traffic and protect the fragile ecosystem, the exact islands you visit will depend on your specific travel dates. For example, a stop at Bartolomé Island would include swimming and snorkeling at the iconic Pinnacle Rock beach before a 40-minute hike to the island’s highest point for impressive views of the island’s beautiful white-sand beaches. Or perhaps you will disembark at Rabida Island, known for its distinct red sand beaches and saltwater lagoon where boobies are known to nest. Another highlight of your Galapagos Islands tour may be Fernandina Island, where you would witness hundreds of iguanas congregating around lava rocks. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of the elusive flightless cormorant, one of the world’s rarest birds.
