Ecuador, The Galapagos and the Amazon with Ken Lydon
 
We start in the capital of Ecuador, Quito, situated in the foothills of the Andes. Declared a IAV sequence.
We then travel to the Galapagos islands, where a week was spent on board a boat travelling round the islands with close encounters with the wildlife. A short AV sequence is also included showing the great variety of birds and other species that call this place home.
It was then back to Quito before our visit to the Amazon for a week at Sasha Lodge for the experience of a lifetime exploring the rainforest. We visit a local community, witness wild parrots at the lick and many other adventures.
