Begin your new life together on a voyage through the Galapagos Islands. Cast away aboard a deluxe, small yacht in the remote island archipelago you hike, snorkel, and explore by day, then escape to a romantic getaway high in the Andes to the colorful village of Otavalo where you relax in style.

Fly to Baltra in the Galapagos, ferry across the Itabaca Channel to Santa Cruz, then drop off your bags at your hotel in Puerto Ayora. We'll let you loose to explore the island! This town is not only home to the legendary Charles Darwin Research Station, but its nearby beaches and lagoons are great for snorkeling and diving. Try a day trip to nearby islands for a glimpse of the Galapagos wildlife, meet newfound friends for dinner at a restaurant on Darwin Avenue, or just find a hammock to lie in and watch the glorious sunsets.

After a short Galapagos cruise, what's a better way to end your trip than a few days helping the people of the islands? Myths and Mountains, in conjunction with a local nonprofit agency, is looking for professionals in the fields of medicine, education, and computer sciences to volunteer their expertise and time while staying in Puerto Ayora. Help out at the health clinic, tutor English to children, or teach basic computer skills at a newly-built lab. Walk the talk and practice true sustainable tourism, Myths and Mountains style.

Short on time but still looking for a relaxing way to explore the Galapagos? Sail aboard one of our preferred yachts for an adventure-filled cruise to some of the archipelago's most famous ecological hotspots. Then settle into one of Puerto Ayora's small, charming hotels and spend the next few days as you please: kayak at Tortuga Bay, hike to remote lava tubes, go diving in search of the massive whale shark, snorkel at the beach, or dine on fresh seafood.

A hotel-based adventure that explores a number of islands and includes snorkeling and hiking, and offers a great alternative to yacht-based tours.
