When you take a Cultural Adventures trip, you are supporting local farmers and fishermen, along with other local people who provide information and services.

"I have been to 30 countries, and this is the best trip I have ever taken. To walk between two worlds--the incredible animals in the Galapagos to the people and artists in Cuenca makes for an incredible experience. One that you are not likely to ever forget."
