“At 71 and 73, we realized we were standing in a precious window of time. We were still healthy and active, our youngest grandchild was finally old enough to keep up, and our oldest was just about to head off to college. We knew we wanted an extended educational experience to share with our three children, their spouses, our six grandkids, and my sister—fifteen of us in total.
The question wasn’t just where to go, but how to do it while we still could. We chose the Galapagos and Ecuador, and looking back, it was a great decision. We love South America and have traveled with Knowmad multiple times previously. It’s a beautiful continent, the people are friendly, the history fascinating, the food great, and it’s close to our time zone! Loving the natural world and surprise, I knew we’d someday visit the Galapagos, and realized our extended family would love it too.
