End the Year with Nature, Culture, and Flavors of Ecuador

This content is available in English only

Imagine ending your year surrounded by the magic of the Galápagos, sea lions lounging on the beach, blue-footed boobies dancing along the shore, breathtaking landscapes, and the unforgettable sense of adventure that comes from exploring the islands. Now, picture adding another layer to that experience: a journey into the flavors, culture, and traditions of Quito.

This year, on all standard December end-of-year Galakiwi tours, we’re adding something special, a complimentary Quito gastronomic tour! It’s our way of sharing the flavors of Ecuador’s vibrant capital and the perfect way to cap off your year. Discover the details of this special offer here.

Why Quito Is the Perfect Finale

Before heading home, you’ll wander through Quito’s charming streets with a local guide who knows the city’s culinary soul. Explore the bustling Mercado Iñaquito, brimming with tropical fruits, then stroll through Old Town Quito, taking in Independence Square and the city’s most mesmerizing churches. Finish at the Church of San Agustín, savoring Ecuadorian humitas, tamales, and a variety of traditional sweets. Every flavor tells a story, every recipe connects you to Ecuador’s rich heritage.

It’s a day designed to delight every sense, one you’ll remember long after your trip ends.

From Ocean Breezes to Andean Heights

We want your end-of-year journey to be unforgettable. Pairing the Galápagos’ wildlife-rich islands with Quito’s culinary treasures is like tying the perfect bow on your trip. After snorkeling in turquoise waters and spotting unique wildlife, the shift to Quito’s mountain air, colonial architecture, and vibrant food scene creates a well-rounded, deeply memorable experience.

How to Join This End-of-Year Treat

This Quito Gastro Tour add-on is available on all Galakiwi end-of-year departures, including our 10-day and 6-day tours, and the offer is valid for bookings made in September only.
