A trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.  Prices are for two and are based on an April departure.

Departs 17 April and includes 13 nights' accommodation (three nights in Quito, three nights in an Amazon lodge and a week aboard the vessel Eclipse), selected meals, a naturalist guide, domestic flights and transfers. International flights and Galapagos National Park tax (US$100/£67 per person) are not included. "A special offer for departures in April and May saves up to £1,000 for seven nights on board one of the best luxury charters in the Galapagos Islands. It's a perfect time to see the albatross arrive and display their courtship rituals; watch sea turtles and land iguanas hatching; and generally wonder at the spectacular nature of this incredible archipelago," says Kate Wharton of Steppes Travel (01285 880980; steppestravel.co.uk ).
