INCREDIBLE TOURS FEATURING:

THE BEAUTY

The Galapagos Islands’ stunning landscapes, flora, wildlife, and underwater wonders resemble another world. The best way to visit them is on a cruise.

Cruising on a first-class ship like “The Legend” through one of the most beautiful archipelagos in the world is an experience that you will remember forever.

The Andean Highlands around Quito, Ecuador, are known for their breathtaking natural beauty. They feature dramatic landscapes, lush cloud forests, and volcanic peaks. This incredibly diverse area offers everything from high-altitude adventures to tropical forest escapes. 

THE Guides

The tour will be led by David and Adina Lebor with over two decades of experience leading Jewish groups all over the world.

The Chiefs of operations on the trip are Nir and Dana Azai of Mundo Trip, Israel. Nir lived in South America for many years and has been guiding tour groups in South America for decades. 

In each venue, we will also have local trackers, guides, and naturalists who are experts in their field.

THE TOURS

  • Sail on a luxury cruise to the Galapagos Islands where the wildest natural scenes await. This isolated archipelago is home to strange and special creatures like giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, Galapagos penguins, marine iguanas, and more.
  • Spend your days snorkeling, hiking, and interacting with the mellow animal inhabitants sailing from island to island on a deluxe yacht. 
  • Spend Friday & Shabbat exploring the high-altitude capital city, Quito, one of the oldest South American cities and a UNESCO Heritage Site.
  • Experience even more rare natural scenery and wildlife as you explore the Andean Highlands of Ecuador.
