Destinations
Galapagos
Go South Adventures offers Galapagos Island cruises, and Galapagos land tours at a great value. Named after the giant tortoises that live there, the “Enchanted Isles” of the Galapagos lie 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. This one of a kind ecosystem supports an extraordinary array of plants, animals and geology. Galapagos is Ecuador’s largest national park consisting of 18 volcanic islands and 40 islets. This wonderful environment creates an opportunity for exceptional wildlife contact and photos. Ever since Charles Darwin sparked his theory of evolution here, the Galapagos Islands continues to intrigue adventurers.
2012 New Itinerary Schedules – All Galapagos boats will run on a restricted schedule where island landing sites, without human populations, are visited once every 15 days. This decision by the Galapagos National Park agency has been enacted in order to reduce pressure on heavily visited tourist sites, for the ultimate benefit of the Galapagos endemic flora and fauna.

Travel to colorful markets, historical haciendas, volcanoes, Amazon rain forests, highland cloud forests and of course the famous Galapagos Island Tours.
