Our Galápagos expeditions feature endangered species monitoring, habitat restoration, citizen science, cultural exchange, and experiential learning—led by local experts in one of the world’s most iconic national parks. We promote environmental stewardship and community sustainability, inspiring participants to become agents of change in their own communities through hands-on learning and meaningful cross-cultural engagement.
A life-changing experience for high school and university student groups
Join Fundación ECOS on a 6- to 7-day educational expedition in the Galapagos Islands—an immersive journey that combines citizen science, hands-on conservation, cultural exchange, and experiential learning in one of the planet’s most iconic ecosystems. Tailored to meet each group’s academic profile, our programs align classroom learning with real-world challenges through field-based activities led by local experts. Students dive into the rich natural history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site and live the experience of being an ecologist, an explorer, and an environmental ambassador.
As a Galapagos-based Ecuadorian nonprofit, our mission is to educate and empower individuals who are deeply committed to caring for our planet and contributing to the greater good.
This is more than a trip—it’s an invitation to discover, grow, and be inspired. Get ready to explore with purpose and return transformed.
