The Galapagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador in South America, is where evolutionary science was born, after Charles Darwin observed how the fittest of the species survived in inimical conditions. And now travel outfitters Abercrombie and Kent (A&K) promise to take you up close to Lonesome George, the world’s last known Pinta Island tortoise, sea lions and iguana, penguins and frigate birds.
The trip costs $500 less than other similar trips, with stateroom accommodation going for $6,195 (around Rs2.9 lakh) per person for double occupancy, for the cruise and internal airfare (Quito-Galapagos-Quito), if you book by 30 September. Log on to www.abercrombiekent.com for details.
