Galapagos/Ecuador and Africa May Term: Biology 380

On the Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands May Term trip, students spend a week exploring mainland Ecuador, including Quito and a remote sanctuary in the Amazonian rainforest. Exotic birds and mammals, brightly colored reptiles and insects, and a lush array of tropical flora are just some of the things students will discover on a daily basis.
