A Valentine’s Day Paradise for Eco-Lovers

the Galapagos Islands
a day in the Galapagos
It’s not February yet, but it’s never too soon to plan a romantic Valentine’s Day. If you are eco-lovers like us, the Galapagos Islands are the place to go. The Galapagos constitute a group of volcanic islands off the coast of Ecuador with rare species and unspoiled beaches. Fly thru Quito to Baltra Island and book a room via Abercrombie & Kent on the M.V. Eclipse, a small expedition vessel that tours the islands, including the western islands of Fernandina and Isabela where few boats go. Each time you step on land, your ecologist will identify finches, iguanas, albatross, penguins, dolphins, and whales. If you are up for a real adventure, snorkel for various shark species, sea turtles, rays, and sea lions. And before your journey ends, present your love with woodcraft, weavings, or a Panama hat from Olga Fisch, an artists’ cooperative on Santa Cruz Island. As if the trip weren’t a gift enough…
