The Galapagos Islands have a special place in the hearts of all nature lovers making them the perfect South America vacations or honeymoons. The Islands, which lie 600 miles from the mainland, are almost totally bereft of large predators, a fact that has allowed an astonishing variety of smaller animals and birds to flourish without obstacle.
Galapagos holidays can be taken at any time of year, another fact that makes them particularly good for a celebratory trip like a honeymoon. Different seasons bring different opportunities for seeing wildlife in all its variety. The year round nature of the Islands means that a wedding at any time of year can be augmented by the perfect nature tour. Theres no waiting around for the right time to go when any month will offer you sights and environments that you cant get anywhere else in the world.
Luxury travel is no stranger here. South America vacations to the Galapagos Islands can be taken aboard luxurious cruise liners or yachts, and guests also have the opportunity to stay in one of two eco friendly resorts actually situated on the land. The Finch Bay Eco Resort and the Galapagos Safari Camp both represent an almost unheard-of chance to get in amongst the animals and birds that make Galapagos holidays such a unique experience.
In both cases, guests are established in state of the art accommodation beautiful modern safari tents for the camp, and contemporary hotel rooms in the eco resort. Youll get the chance to enjoy an infinity pool when you stay in the safari camp, and have breakfast and evening meals included in your rates.
Staying at the eco resort offers more in the way of traditional hotel comforts, and also gives visitors access to a series of professionally guided trips and tours to the other islands (the Finch Bay Eco Resort is located on the island of Santa Cruz).
South America vacations taken in the hotel combine the best in high class dining and accommodation with the wilderness and grandeur of the Islands themselves.
There are plenty of ways to enjoy the spectacular views and abundance of wildlife that Galapagos holidays have to offer. Nature walks and snorkelling are two excellent methods by which the cornucopia of nature on display can be fully appreciated. For the more adventurous, kayaking and diving programmes can also be arranged. Be aware that, as with all diving programmes, youll need qualifications if you intend to SCUBA.
South America vacations dont get much better than this. In the company of fully qualified guides (like the ones offered by Jacada Travel), lucky visitors to the Islands get the chance to get up close and personal with some of the most famous animals on earth. The lack of human contact and predatorial activity on the islands has made these animals fearless and inquisitive which means that travellers on their Galapagos holidays literally get to commune with nature at every turn. If the freedom of the natural world is what gets you excited, the Islands are the ideal place to take that special trip.
