Our Travel Experts: - Galapagos Islands

One of my longtime interests has been traveling to "off the beaten path" destinations. South America is a fabulous destination full of lifetime memories, and there are experiences for everyone's taste and budget. When I went to the Galapagos Islands, I saw wildlife not seen anywhere else in the world. There were wingless birds, sea iguanas and land tortoises, now almost extinct. There are even penguins at the equator. In Peru, I traveled to the Amazon River and saw the Inca cities of Cuzco and Machu Picchu. The sophisticated cities of Buenos Aires, Argentina and Rio deJaneiro, Brazil are a "must see." Chile, now famous for its wines, has much to see and do. The Atacama Desert and the Torres del Paine National Park provide opportunities for the adventurous traveler. On my cruise through the Magellan Straits, I saw abundant wildlife, glaciers, and visited Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. Iguassu Falls is something that once seen will stay with you forever. See the Falls from the top and then from below, in a raft. I'll be eager to arrange your South American vacation!

For 30 years I’d dreamt about seeing oversized tortoises, sitting beside birds with blue feet, and stepping over wild sea lion pups before I actually got to experience it for myself. It is no wonder that I now specialize in travel to these magnificent islands of the Galapagos. Trust me, they are everything you have ever heard, or ever seen. The birds are really hopping on you. The iguanas are truly under foot. The sea lions and their pups are strewn everywhere. It is a magical place. Each island has its own personality. Some have lots of lava rock, and you will see beaches of every color, I kid you not! There is black, white, pink, and even green! And you will observe firsthand the diversity of species that you find on each one, discovered and made famous by Charles Darwin. This is the perfect place for adventurers, photographers, eco-minded travelers, and anyone looking for something unique. Let me make this destination one of your most cherished trips.
