    Donna

    Asked on December 10th, 2024

    How many participants are in the group? Will daily travel be by bus or car? Will I have my luggage with me during the entire trip (including domestic flights)? What about breakfast and lunch? Can the Los Grietas/Tortuga Bay/Charles Darwin excursions be booked separately and what are the approximate costs? Will the Galapagos visit definitely take place? Do I need a backpack, sturdy shoes, and a jacket for the trip? What additional costs might I incur?
