ITINERARY
EPI offers two distinct Galápagos experiences for students and teacher-led groups, each designed to immerse participants in hands-on conservation science and inquiry-driven learning.
Whether traveling across multiple islands through our ECOS partnership or engaging deeply with community-based initiatives in San Cristóbal through Projects Galápagos, students and educators collaborate directly with local research partners while exploring one of the world’s most iconic 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".
