| Galapagos Islands with Lelis Navarrete: November 15 to 24, 2010 Each year, around the Thanksgiving holiday, our key South American partner, Neblina Forest Tours, organizes the Galapagos Thanksgiving Birding Trip. With Lelis Navarrete as the guide, this Galapagos trip is strengthened by the keen skills of one of South America’s top guides. Come and join our program, we want to share with you the opportunity to see most of the 28 endemic species of the Islands including Charles Mockingbird, Galápagos Martin, all the Darwin finches -including the super rare Mangrove Finch. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy more wildlife watching by snorkeling and to discover first hand the natural history of these unique ecosystems. The Galapagos Islands bear the last unspoiled and pristine ecosystems of the world where animals are tame, because of their recent exposure to human presence. Our trip will be consistent with, and support, the tremendous global effort of conservation to protect these islands. |
