ITINERARY
EPI offers a Galápagos experience designed to immerse students and teacher-led groups in hands-on conservation science and inquiry-driven learning.
Traveling to Santa Cruz and Isabela, with a brief connection through Quito, participants work alongside National Park rangers to monitor wild giant tortoises and collect data that supports conservation efforts, while also contributing to microplastics research and exploring marine ecosystems.
Participants return home with real field data, deeper scientific understanding, and a renewed connection to conservation in action.

"This course was very eye opening and made me re-think how I see nature, it was very insightful plus a one in a lifetime experience. It made me have a deeper gratitude for the environment and a higher sense of personal responsibility to see how I can improve my personal footprint & impact".
