Trip to Ecuador, The Galapagos Islands, Peru & Machu Picchu
Hosted by Buffalo/Niagara worldwide Travel Meetup
Details
This trip runs as the same Peru trip but leaves earlier and will meet the rest of the group that is just going to Peru.
Here is the webinar we had that will cover this trip
We will explore Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. This is limited to only 15 people. If we have more response then I will create a waiting list and see if they can offer this for another 15 people as that's all they allow us as a group in the Galapagos.
