Is the Galápagos a Good Family Vacation? The Galápagos has a reputation as a bucket list trip for serious wildlife lovers, not exactly the first place that comes to mind for a family vacation. But talk to families who have actually gone, and you will hear the opposite. Between the wildlife, the guides, and a trip built around every age in the group, it has quietly become one of the best family adventures out there. And with the right operator behind the trip, that adventure can feel just as easy and family friendly as it does wild. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/1605821118123-XS9135YD4SAKEW0VK6ZH/ER_SeaTurtle_WestonWalker.jpg Blog - Is the Galápagos a Good Family Vacation? - Wildlife That Comes to You Most safaris and nature trips involve a fair amount of waiting, watching from a distance, or hoping an animal shows up at all. The Galápagos flips that script. Because the wildlife here evolved with no natural predators, they show little fear of people. Kids can watch a marine iguana bask on a rock or a blue footed booby perform its courtship dance without binoculars or long lenses, just an arm's length away. For children who are curious about nature, that kind of close, unfiltered access tends to leave a much deeper impression than a zoo enclosure or a nature documentary ever could. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/62921375-0789-4111-a8ac-1ccd70f4143f/IMG_6915.jpg Blog - Is the Galápagos a Good Family Vacation? That variety is part of what makes it stick. Between the beaches, the lava fields, and the water, kids run into a completely different cast of characters island to island, sea lions one day, marine iguanas the next, penguins the day after that. It rarely feels like the same walk twice. By the end of the trip, most kids are not just looking at wildlife, they are naming species on sight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/7312c6ec-27dd-4aee-863e-a7caabc657c8/DSC_0287.jpg Blog - Is the Galápagos a Good Family Vacation? - More Than a Tour Guide A trip can have every ingredient right, incredible wildlife, a great boat, perfect weather, and still fall flat without the right person leading it. INCA naturalist guides have spent decades exploring the islands. Additionally, all of them live in the Galápagos full time, which means the knowledge they are sharing is not a script, it is a lifetime of watching this place up close. On land, they lead hands-on demonstrations with local vegetation and rock formations, the kind of stuff that keeps kids engaged because they are touching and asking questions rather than just listening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/f282a224-e439-4e95-b674-6ee7d89cefa1/DSC_0801.jpg Blog - Is the Galápagos a Good Family Vacation? That kind of expertise matters most in the moments you cannot plan for. A tortoise blocking the trail, a booby launching into its courtship dance out of nowhere, a child asking why the water suddenly turns that color. Having someone right there who can explain it on the spot, for every age in the group at once, turns a passing moment into something the whole family actually understands together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/de1930da-1d75-41c9-a53e-8fd833db9e42/Integrity-393.jpg Blog - Is the Galápagos a Good Family Vacation? - Onboard the Integrity Aboard our chosen Galápagos yacht, the Integrity, that same family first approach carries over from the trail to the deck. Downtime between excursions turns into game time with board games that give kids and adults something to do together instead of staring at a phone waiting for the next stop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/866671e5-49b9-4cbc-95fd-4be8f6cb2dda/Integrity-201.jpg Blog - Is the Galápagos a Good Family Vacation? We provide complimentary wetsuits and snorkel gear that come in adult and child sizes, so nobody sits out a swim because the gear does not fit. A day snorkeling with sea turtles and colorful reef fish becomes a shared family moment, rather than one only half the group is equipped for. Meals follow the same philosophy. Our crew and chef are on board full time, and menus can be built to be kid friendly without losing the quality adults expect, while special diets, allergies, and picky eaters are worked in ahead of time rather than figured out on the fly. By the time a family reaches the end of the trip, the boat itself starts to feel less like transportation and more like a second home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/d3324def-edf3-4ddc-a054-98d85e3afaa4/BillRoberson01.jpg Blog - Is the Galápagos a Good Family Vacation? - A Family Story of Our Own This connection between family and the Galápagos is something we understand firsthand. INCA began as a family adventure, Bill Roberson's way of sharing the life changing pull of travel with his own daughters. His daughter Marika Roberson, now our VP, first came to the islands with him long before she ever imagined taking on a leadership role at the company he built. Years later, Marika brought her own daughter, Elysee, now our head of marketing, to stand on those same shores as a kid, tracing her grandfather's footsteps without fully knowing it yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/74ffe82b-5a6f-4694-8c3c-399035c129ca/2012GalapagosBillwDaughtersGranddaughters+DSC_0763.jpg Blog - Is the Galápagos a Good Family Vacation? It is easy to talk about the Galápagos changing how a family sees the world together. It is another thing to watch it happen twice in the same family, a generation apart, and still see it hold up. That is not a marketing line for us; It is the reason INCA exists in the form it does today. This is why we still believe there is no better place to bring the people you love than the islands that shaped ours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/c9898fe4-39bd-4dd5-a5be-9afaea5adc1c/INCA_snorkel+OK.jpg Blog - Is the Galápagos a Good Family Vacation? - Memories Worth Growing Up With The Galápagos asks a little more of a family than a typical beach getaway. More planning, more movement, more days spent outdoors than lounging. But that effort is exactly what makes it stick. It consistently ranks among the most memorable trips a family can take together, the kind where watching your kids come face to face with a creature they have only ever seen in a book turns into the trip a family ends up measuring every future vacation against. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/3445a0bd-06eb-447c-a374-a7c7f061a19b/DSC_0110.jpg Blog - Is the Galápagos a Good Family Vacation? Fixed departures require kids to be at least 6 years old, though charter exclusive trips have no age minimum, and our team members are happy to build in custom touches for whatever your kid is obsessed with. https://www.inca1.com/blog/where-is-patagonia monthly 0.5 2026-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/2931cb21-6846-4bb2-8166-5afdf0816ff3/Patagonia-Torres+del+Paine-MarikaRoberson-2023-008.jpg Blog - Where Is Patagonia? Setting the Record Straight Ask ten travelers to point to Patagonia on a map, and you'll likely get ten different answers, some of them pointing to a country that doesn't actually exist. Patagonia isn't a nation, a province, or a single administrative territory. It's a vast, wild region at the southern tip of South America, shared between two countries: Argentina and Chile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/90c7d4c2-f112-4e93-aea1-46897c7beed1/Patagonia-Torres+del+Paine-MarikaRoberson-2023-053.jpg Blog - Where Is Patagonia? Setting the Record Straight - A Region, Not a Country Patagonia stretches across the bottom of the continent, bordered by the Andes Mountains running through its center, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Pacific Ocean and Chilean fjords to the west. On the Argentine side, the region covers the provinces of La Pampa, Neuquén, Río Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz, and Tierra del Fuego, extending roughly 2,500 kilometers from north to south. Chilean Patagonia, meanwhile, occupies the country's southern Aysén and Magallanes regions, hugging the Pacific coast in a landscape of fjords, temperate rainforest, and ice fields. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/154dd879-f4f3-40ec-b73d-51881d276fa4/Patagonia-El-Calafate-Glacier.jpg Blog - Where Is Patagonia? Setting the Record Straight Together, the two sides form a territory of staggering scale, well over 300,000 square miles depending on where you draw the line (more on that below). It's home to glaciers, steppe grasslands, granite spires, and some of the last great stretches of untouched wilderness on Earth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/ca78f9ae-b92b-47df-a73e-3e3e3de61425/PAT-Fitz-Roy-iStock-1276826309.jpg Blog - Where Is Patagonia? Setting the Record Straight - Why the Confusion? Part of the reason people mistake Patagonia for a country is sheer geographic weight: it's larger than many nations, and it has its own unmistakable identity, with its own wildlife, its own culture, and its own outdoor icons like Torres del Paine and Mount Fitz Roy. But no treaty or government has ever drawn an official boundary around it. Even geographers disagree on exactly where Patagonia begins. In Argentina, the unofficial northern edge is often placed near the Río Negro and the Bariloche lake district. In Chile, some maps push the boundary as far north as Temuco, while others start it further south, closer to the Aysén region. The Andes divide the region east to west, but there's no single line that all sources agree on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/ded1065e-1062-4e90-b381-3fc0d031793a/Patagonia-Torres+del+Paine-MarikaRoberson-2023-023-2.jpg Blog - Where Is Patagonia? Setting the Record Straight Pop culture plays a role too. For most people outside South America, the word "Patagonia" is just as likely to call to mind a fleece jacket as a place, thanks to the outdoor clothing brand that borrowed the region's name back in 1973. Decades of global marketing have made the brand far more familiar than the geography behind it, so it's an easy leap for people to assume "Patagonia" is a single, definable place, the way a country is, rather than a shared, borderless expanse. What's consistent, though, is the core idea: Patagonia is a shared expanse of extraordinary landscape that spans two sovereign countries, not one country of its own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/de2be48b-d1a9-403b-9f6a-52a3cbe85214/Outings+Awasi+Patagonia+%2865%29.jpeg Blog - Where Is Patagonia? Setting the Record Straight - Why It Matters for Travelers Understanding Patagonia's true geography actually makes trip planning easier, not harder. Since the region straddles two countries, the real question isn't "which country is Patagonia in," but "how much of each side do you want to see." That's exactly how we build our Patagonia itineraries at INCA. For travelers who want it all in one trip, The Wild South and Patagonia Peaks itineraries each combine the Argentine and Chilean sides in a single seamless journey, one by expedition cruise and lodge stay near Chile's Torres del Paine, the other on foot between Torres del Paine and Argentina's El Chaltén. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/3874a65c-9dd6-4bbb-9e31-82943e4c65ac/Patagonia-Torres+del+Paine-MarikaRoberson-2023-056-2.jpg Blog - Where Is Patagonia? Setting the Record Straight For travelers who'd rather build their own route, we have the ability to design your dream trip around whatever focus fits you best, whether that's Chile, Argentina, or Patagonia as a whole, mixing and matching so the trip stays centered on the region itself or extends into the rest of either country. Now, next time someone mentions Patagonia, you'll know it's actually two countries, not one. Ready to see both sides for yourself? Talk to an INCA travel advisor to start building your itinerary.

We arrived on a quiet afternoon, our van navigating the narrow streets before coming to a stop along a small side street. The entrance gave little away, but what was inside was worth finding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/39bab70d-4624-42da-991a-7d303e168cf8/Weaving+Demo_12.jpg Blog - Woven in Chinchero: A Living Tradition at the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco Our guide led us through an aged wooden doorway and into an open courtyard. Women were seated in small clusters, their hands moving with quiet precision, thread passing through fingers in a rhythm as practiced and unhurried as the landscape surrounding them. There was little conversation. Just the soft, steady sound of weaving being done with care. This courtyard is home to the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco, known as the CTTC, a nonprofit founded in 1996 by Nilda Callañaupa Alvarez, a master Quechua weaver born and raised in Chinchero. What began as a small group of indigenous women meeting informally in the 1970s to recover disappearing designs and techniques has since grown into an organization working with ten weaving communities across the Cusco region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/e70b5964-a750-4795-b420-afad30f12240/Weaving+Demo_6.jpg Blog - Woven in Chinchero: A Living Tradition at the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco As we walked through, there was a sense of tradition in the space that is hard to describe. The closest comparison is stepping into a place of worship, regardless of belief, you instinctively lower your voice, slow your pace, and recognize that something meaningful is happening around you. We were welcomed and seated, and the demonstration began, led by one of the master weavers. There was no script or performance in the way she spoke, just a clear, practiced way of explaining something she has lived her entire life. You could feel the pride and passion in her words, not just about the textiles, but about what they represent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/91d83c4b-a6b3-4b59-bcdb-cc82c42bb99e/Weaving+Demo_10.jpg Blog - Woven in Chinchero: A Living Tradition at the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco The demonstration walked us through each stage of the process, starting with the raw materials. Alpaca or sheep wool is cleaned, spun by hand, and dyed using entirely natural ingredients gathered from the surrounding landscape. Plants, roots, and minerals each play a role, and so do insects. Cochineal produces deep, rich reds, while local plants yield yellows, greens, and earthy tones. We watched the rinsing process, saw how color transforms the fiber, and began to understand just how many steps exist before a single pattern is even started. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/44e87f15-aba4-473e-a192-7e7a4b124705/Weaving+Demo_5.jpg Blog - Woven in Chinchero: A Living Tradition at the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco From there, the process moved into the weaving itself. Different styles were shown side by side, each tied to a specific community and tradition. The patterns are not just decorative choices, they have meaning, often representing elements of nature, community, and Andean cosmology. Today the CTTC works against the loss of these traditions through community education, annual weaving competitions, and weekly gatherings where children learn from elders. The goal is not to freeze these traditions in place, but to ensure they remain alive, understood, and passed forward to the next generation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/f85b15ba-79cf-4e17-bda0-43087b6afd36/Weaving+Demo_11.jpg Blog - Woven in Chinchero: A Living Tradition at the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco What stays with you after a visit like this is the combination of patience, intention, and continuity, the understanding that what you are watching took generations to preserve and could easily have been lost. Every piece made in this courtyard carries something of the people who made it, and that extends beyond the experience itself. A selection of textiles are available for purchase, and both the tour and any pieces you bring home directly support the program and the women who keep these traditions alive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/7f6ba5a4-11ac-4af5-abd6-d3c5541e88c2/Weaving+Demo_19.jpeg Blog - Woven in Chinchero: A Living Tradition at the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco Chinchero is easy to pass through without fully entering. Visiting the CTTC is a reason to stay a little longer, and one of the more grounding moments a journey through Peru has to offer.

Home to hundreds of species found nowhere else, they remain one of the planet's most extraordinary ecosystems. But they are also incredibly fragile. Invasive species, changing ocean conditions, habitat loss, and growing human activity continue to put pressure on the wildlife that makes these islands so remarkable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/6af6c217-6151-48e5-87a1-c3239c678dc5/Blue+Footed+Booby+in+Galapagos Blog - 40 Years, 35,000 Tortoises, and a Blueprint for Conservation At the center of that response is the Galápagos Conservancy, a nonprofit founded in 1985 with a singular focus: protecting and restoring the Galápagos Islands. They fund and support conservation work throughout the archipelago alongside the Galápagos National Park Directorate, local scientists, island communities, and international research institutions. Their recently released 2025 Impact Report, marking the organization's 40th anniversary, is a frank accounting of where things stand. It documents the wins, the ongoing battles, and the scale of effort it takes to protect one of the world's most ecologically sensitive places. Over 40 years, they have invested more than $50 million across 250 conservation projects. This report tracks what that investment has produced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/b973e9b9-e948-4527-b027-229f4f1cb47a/Integrity-7.jpg Blog - 40 Years, 35,000 Tortoises, and a Blueprint for Conservation Perhaps the most vital story in the report is the giant tortoise. In the 1970s, populations had fallen to around 8,000 individuals across the archipelago. Today, more than 35,000 are alive, 4 times the historic low. That recovery is the result of a 60-year captive breeding program run in collaboration with the Galápagos National Park Directorate. Three breeding centers on Santa Cruz, Isabela, and San Cristóbal now achieve survival rates above 85%, compared to just 2% in the wild. Over 10,000 tortoises have been released since the program began in 1965. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/5fcb44a2-9c4c-42b0-97cf-990387ed7d17/Integrity-93.jpg Blog - 40 Years, 35,000 Tortoises, and a Blueprint for Conservation The most recent milestone came in February 2026, when giant tortoises returned to Floreana Island for the first time in over 180 years. The Floreana species was believed extinct until genetic analysis in 2000 identified hybrid descendants on Wolf Volcano. What followed was two decades of breeding, habitat preparation, biosecurity work, and population modeling done in partnership with NASA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/7f614df1-8b6a-4119-8775-d26e9fb9f307/Integrity-272.jpg Blog - 40 Years, 35,000 Tortoises, and a Blueprint for Conservation Tortoises are just one piece of a much larger story. The 2025 report documents progress across the archipelago's oceans, coastlines, and highland forests. In the water, marine species are being tracked and coral reefs rebuilt from near zero. On land, critical bird habitats are recovering after years of targeted restoration work. Taken together, the scope of that effort is significant: 250 conservation projects supported, 50 endemic species protected, and 15 habitats restored. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/23301601-aea6-4afd-8885-9f0205de0ece/Galapagos_San+Cristobal_Punta+Pitt_Frigatebird+Young-2ElyseeRobersonSchulz-2026.jpg Blog - 40 Years, 35,000 Tortoises, and a Blueprint for Conservation Impact reports like this one serve an important function beyond accountability. They synthesize decades of field data, population surveys, and restoration outcomes into a clear picture of what is working and what still needs attention. The Galápagos Conservancy directs 74% of all funds to conservation programs. The remaining 26% covers management and administration. That transparency matters, especially for an organization operating at this scale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/4dd9a30a-5f03-4c18-a49f-5879d8efed47/Integrity-174.jpg Blog - 40 Years, 35,000 Tortoises, and a Blueprint for Conservation Looking through the report, it's easy to focus on the numbers. But behind every milestone are years of research, restoration, and collaboration. More than a collection of statistics, the report offers a look at the people, partnerships, and long-term commitment behind conservation in the Galápagos, all working toward the shared goal of protecting the islands and the wildlife that call them home.

Archaeologists now believe T'aqrachullo, a dramatic clifftop mesa above the Apurímac River, is possibly one of the most sacred and most elusive sites in all of Inca history, and some are going even further, suggesting it could be a long lost Inca city hidden in plain sight for centuries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/52059115-1f0a-412e-ad65-471ef20a0603/Arturo+Rodriguez_03.png Blog - Peru's Lost Inca City May Have Been Found T'aqrachullo was not always so unknown. In its prime, the site sat along the Inca's extraordinary road network, a system spanning some 25,000 miles that connected the empire from modern day Quito, Ecuador to Santiago, Chile. Along these routes flowed goods, armies, and ideas, linking remote highland outposts to the great centers of Inca power. That T'aqrachullo was part of this web suggests it was never a backwater, but a node in one of the ancient world's most sophisticated civilizations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/000ac313-8dfa-450d-9ba6-4d34ebe37dcc/Arturo+Rodriguez_06.png Blog - Peru's Lost Inca City May Have Been Found What brought it to global attention was a single astonishing find: nearly 3,000 gold, silver, and copper sequins buried for centuries inside a stone enclosure, identified as decorations from the ceremonial dress of Inca elites. For the archaeologists on site, it was the kind of discovery most never encounter in an entire career. Since then, excavations sponsored by Peru's Ministry of Culture have uncovered close to 600 structures, temples, tombs, and shrines, along with gold nuggets, finely crafted figurines, and weapons suggesting the site witnessed fierce resistance during the Spanish conquest. A grand temple at the site's center appears to have been in use for over 2,000 years, predating the Inca themselves and pointing to a place of deep, continuous spiritual significance across multiple Andean civilizations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/290db03f-d583-49cf-8c50-c1461ae74b14/Arturo+Rodriguez_04.png Blog - Peru's Lost Inca City May Have Been Found Many scholars now believe T'aqrachullo is Ancocagua, a long lost Inca city and citadel described in colonial-era texts as one of the five most sacred temples in the entire Inca Empire. For centuries the location of this near mythical stronghold remained unknown, its story preserved only in the accounts of Spanish conquistadors. If confirmed, it would be among the most significant archaeological identifications in Peru in generations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/32f66beb-2e20-493d-a223-f1a80e60825b/Arturo+Rodriguez_07.png Blog - Peru's Lost Inca City May Have Been Found What makes this discovery especially meaningful is who is behind it. Unlike many of the landmark Inca sites uncovered in the 19th and 20th centuries by Western explorers, the excavation at T'aqrachullo has been led entirely by Peruvian researchers. Among them is archaeologist Alicia Quirita, who grew up speaking Quechua near this very region and first surveyed the site as a university student in the early 1990s. For scholars like Quirita, the work is as much about returning history to the people it belongs to as it is about what lies beneath the soil. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/53804aea-d67a-46e5-94b1-fbfd2ec41378/Arturo+Rodriguez_02.png Blog - Peru's Lost Inca City May Have Been Found And the story is far from over. Archaeologists have examined just over half of T'aqrachullo, with the rest intentionally left untouched for future researchers and new technologies. Peru's Ministry of Culture is now focused on restoring the site and opening it to visitors, making this a rare opportunity to experience a major archaeological discovery while it is still fresh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/b311594a-e2d4-4150-aab1-8bb51a92fb1f/Peru_Urubamba+Valley_Landscape-6-WestonWalker.jpg Blog - Peru's Lost Inca City May Have Been Found For those who travel to Peru to connect with its living history, discoveries like this are a reminder that the Inca world is still revealing its secrets. The highlands that surround sites like Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu are layered with meaning, and with stories still being told for the first time. What makes Peru unlike anywhere else is that its ancient past is not frozen behind glass. It lives in the landscape, in the communities, in the language still spoken by millions of Quechua speakers today. Every journey here has the potential to feel like a discovery, because in many ways, it still is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/1772055981325-KPMMDXPTEN5U2MKGE7H4/Soraypampa_view+of+Salkantay+-+MLP_Salkantay_Peru.jpg Blog - Peru's Lost Inca City May Have Been Found Written by Gabe Rios Photo credit: Arturo Rodriguez - National Geographic Source: Alejandro Munoz - National Geographic https://www.inca1.com/blog/jade-river-murals-in-lima monthly 0.5 2026-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/a16bbb2e-093c-4741-8dae-5ebb602c5a5b/Jade+Rivera+_02.jpg Blog - Where the Walls Tell the Story: Barranco, Lima, and the Art of Jade Rivera Just south of central Lima, perched along the Pacific cliffs, Barranco has long been known as the city's artistic quarter. Its history is embedded in the details, wooden balconies, old villas, and quiet plazas that feel unchanged even as the neighborhood evolves around them. Historical and funky in equal measure, Barranco blends that preserved charm with a steady pulse of cafés, galleries, and creative energy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/946b3344-158a-4ce9-8bb5-94e3413aeb6b/Gabe+Rios_02.jpeg Blog - Where the Walls Tell the Story: Barranco, Lima, and the Art of Jade Rivera Barranco is filled with murals, bold, intricate, and impossible to ignore. These works of art are part of the landscape, shaping the way the neighborhood is experienced day to day. Among the artists defining that identity, Jade Rivera has become something of a local icon. His work stretches across building facades, quiet side streets, and full-scale walls, carrying a presence that feels both personal and expansive, rooted in Peruvian culture while still open to interpretation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/aeda0c28-d62f-4c08-8553-994b316258ba/Gabe+Rios_01.jpeg Blog - Where the Walls Tell the Story: Barranco, Lima, and the Art of Jade Rivera Jade Rivera was born in Junín, Peru in 1983 and raised in Lima's Chorrillos district, where his curiosity for art took hold at eleven. By fourteen, he had his first encounter with graffiti, an introduction that quietly set the course for everything that followed. At seventeen, he briefly enrolled at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes before stepping away to carve his own path, embracing what would become a lifelong identity as a self-taught artist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/834c6b66-a81b-4d12-ad28-8c2e9ee12d9e/Gabe+Rios_04.jpeg Blog - Where the Walls Tell the Story: Barranco, Lima, and the Art of Jade Rivera Over the past two decades, his work has expanded across muralism, oil painting, watercolor, sculpture, and ceramics, with large-scale pieces appearing in more than twenty countries, including Colombia, Poland, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States. Despite that global reach, Barranco remains where his presence feels most concentrated, and in many ways, most at home. There is something about Rivera's work that feels deeply connected, to identity, to heritage, and to the land of Peru. His figures are elongated, grounded, and often introspective, almost blending into the spaces they occupy. Nothing feels forced or over-explained. Instead, his murals carry a quiet weight, leaving room for you to interpret them in your own way. While his work is rooted in Peruvian culture, it never feels exclusive to it. There is a universality that allows people from anywhere to find a connection. A great example is the series he created around COVID-19, a reflection of a global moment expressed through a local lens, and something that feels just as personal standing in Barranco as it does anywhere else in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/f3b4a96b-0f78-4868-9f24-91a6a987d5ec/Jade+Rivera_03.jpg Blog - Where the Walls Tell the Story: Barranco, Lima, and the Art of Jade Rivera The experience does not stop at the street. At Museo Jade Rivera, his work picks up where the murals leave off, offering a more intimate look into the ideas behind the scale. Just across from it sits Hotel B, where many INCA guests stay, a restored 1914 Belle Époque mansion filled with over 300 original works by Latin American artists. The space reflects the same attention to detail as the artwork, with high ceilings, natural light, and warm wood finishes. It is this blend of street, space, and story that defines Barranco, where art is not something you seek out, but something you move through. Barranco is just one of the many places within Peru that invites you to slow down and take a closer look.

Glaciers, fjords, and open ocean define the landscape above the water. What lies beneath it is an entirely different story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/0d3f5f06-8717-43a1-97a9-3bed9916b5b3/tifonimages-iStock-1470975079.jpg Blog - 1,200 Kilometers Underwater: The Expedition to Save Patagonia's Kelp Forests The coastline stretching from the Gulf of Corcovado to Cape Horn is one of the most isolated and biologically rich marine environments on the planet. It is here that the Patagonian Megatransect is now underway. The expedition is led by Rewilding Chile's Marine Program in collaboration with scientists from the Austral University of Chile, the University of Victoria in Canada, and the University of Western Australia. The megatransect, spanning 1,200 kilometers of coastline, aims to document one of the largest and least explored kelp forest ecosystems remaining in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/12be498d-cd4c-4f86-b4f7-2232581fd20c/Eduardo+SorensenRewilding+Chile.png Blog - 1,200 Kilometers Underwater: The Expedition to Save Patagonia's Kelp Forests Kelp forests are easy to overlook. They exist beneath the surface, out of sight, and for most people, out of mind. But their role in the health of the planet is hard to overstate. According to Discover Wildlife, giant kelp absorbs twenty times more carbon than terrestrial forests, thanks to a growth rate unmatched by any other living organism on Earth. Under the right conditions, these underwater titans can grow up to 50 centimeters in a single day. Beyond carbon, kelp forests support roughly 75% of global fisheries, providing critical habitat for species like king crab, sea urchins, and Patagonian squid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/d7662e34-c7ab-4d0d-ae11-93222ee5542e/Eduardo+SorensenRewilding+Chile_2.png Blog - 1,200 Kilometers Underwater: The Expedition to Save Patagonia's Kelp Forests The expedition is not just a survey, it is a race. Across the globe, kelp forests in certain regions have lost up to 90% of their coverage, and the same threats are beginning to surface in Patagonia. Researchers have identified the plumose anemone, an invasive species believed to have arrived in Chilean waters via ship ballast water, which is now spreading rapidly through the region and decimating kelp habitats in its path. What is even more alarming, during the expedition, researchers documented the complete disappearance of a Patagonian kelp forest that had been captured by satellite imagery just two years ago. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/817980f8-fdb2-414d-8858-5e01ae837fcb/Eduardo+SorensenRewilding+Chile_3.png Blog - 1,200 Kilometers Underwater: The Expedition to Save Patagonia's Kelp Forests Understanding what is at stake is one thing, doing something about it is another. Over the course of 6 expeditions running through March 2027, scientists will conduct underwater studies across 90 sampling dive sites and 180 scientific transects, using over 7,200 underwater photo quadrants to capture what lives in these ecosystems. Advanced tools like environmental DNA analysis are being used to identify species that traditional surveying would miss entirely. The findings will be published in scientific journals and made available through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, administered in Chile by the Ministry of the Environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/e26fb55d-d6e6-4d43-9d44-051cec3a8a21/Dr+John+A+Horsfall+-+Kelp+off+Tierra+del+Fuego+iStock-1173826357-2.jpg Blog - 1,200 Kilometers Underwater: The Expedition to Save Patagonia's Kelp Forests What makes Patagonia so significant is precisely how intact it remains. While kelp forests elsewhere have been reduced or destroyed, Chile's southern coastline still holds some of the most resilient and biodiverse examples on the planet. The implications of this research extend well beyond the water. A detailed map of this ecosystem could give policymakers the evidence they need to establish new marine protected areas along Chile's coastline. That same data could formally position Chile as a global leader in blue carbon, opening the door to international climate funding and long term conservation agreements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/7e5092de-2950-43ce-9293-4d08ddf87b27/Eduardo+SorensenRewilding+Chile_9.png Blog - 1,200 Kilometers Underwater: The Expedition to Save Patagonia's Kelp Forests Blue carbon refers to the carbon dioxide captured and stored by ocean and coastal ecosystems, and kelp forests are among the most powerful natural tools we have for doing it. Unlike carbon offset programs that rely on planting trees or industrial technology, this is a system that has been quietly running for thousands of years. Protecting it is one of the simplest and most effective climate solutions available. The data being gathered today is the foundation for decisions that will shape this coastline for generations. This research is unfolding in real time, in one of the most breathtaking destinations INCA has to offer.

Nearly two centuries later, the islands are still drawing researchers and conservationists driven by the same curiosity. The research methods, however, are catching up fast. In May 2026, Floreana Island became one of the first places in the world to launch a Smart Island Monitoring system. Led by Island Conservation in coordination with Fundación Jocotoco, and overseen by the Galápagos National Park Directorate, the initiative represents a meaningful shift in how conservation teams work within one of the world’s most remote and biologically significant ecosystems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/c67e2e0e-0a5e-4c6f-89b8-2d8afa00795a/Island_Conservation_Floreana_Smart_Island_Doug_Gillings..jpg Blog - The Galápagos Just Got Smarter: A New Era of Conservation on Floreana Island Floreana is a small island, home to roughly 160 residents, no cellular coverage, and terrain that makes traditional monitoring slow and physically demanding. Conservation teams once reviewed thousands of images by hand, made long treks to check individual traps, and waited weeks before data could inform any real decision. The Smart Island system changes that from the ground up. Think of it like a nervous system built across the island. Solar and grid-powered communication towers create a wireless network connecting dozens of cameras, sensors, and tracking devices scattered across Floreana’s landscape. When an animal moves, a camera captures it and a simple pattern-recognition program automatically identifies the species, similar to how your phone recognizes faces in photos. If it detects something that warrants attention, a ranger receives a direct alert on their phone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/9f413183-ed13-483d-a10d-b8f5f5ce42fc/1_Photo+Credit_+Jocotoco_Island+Conservation.jpg Blog - The Galápagos Just Got Smarter: A New Era of Conservation on Floreana Island All of that information feeds into a central platform that gives the team a live picture of what is happening across the island at any moment. No waiting, no manual review, no unnecessary field trips. According to Island Conservation, in just over two months of operation, the system reviewed more than 81,000 images automatically, flagged around 1,500 wildlife detections requiring follow-up, and reduced manual monitoring workload by 98 percent, saving the equivalent of roughly 110 staff hours per year. That time is not lost, it is redirected. Rangers and conservation staff can spend less time behind a screen reviewing empty footage and more time in the field where their expertise actually matters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/2d6b1a32-1bca-4ff1-991c-b1b9da8bd476/2_Photo+Credit_Doug+Gillings+_+Island+Conservation.jpg Blog - The Galápagos Just Got Smarter: A New Era of Conservation on Floreana Island The system is also revealing things that were nearly impossible to document before, including the mapped movements of the Galápagos short-eared owl and rare interactions between owls, frigatebirds, and marine iguanas, observations that once would have required weeks of fieldwork and a fair amount of luck. A fair question worth raising: is AI bad for the environment? In large-scale applications, energy consumption is a legitimate concern. The technology at work on Floreana is far more modest, a targeted image recognition tool doing a specific, narrow job. Its footprint is small, and the conservation value it delivers far outweighs it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/703ae1c6-882b-4d30-84bc-81a6488b7419/boobypair.jpg Blog - The Galápagos Just Got Smarter: A New Era of Conservation on Floreana Island The next phase will scale the network to support up to 450 cameras and more than 200 sensors. As Down to Earth reported, the broader goal is not just to protect Floreana but to establish a replicable model that can be deployed across other vulnerable islands throughout Latin America and beyond. With smarter analysis tools on the horizon, teams will be able to identify threats earlier, track the recovery of reintroduced species over time, and build a long-term scientific record of an ecosystem coming back to life. For a place like the Galápagos, where every species plays a specific and irreplaceable role, that kind of continuity matters enormously. The Galápagos is home to some of the most extraordinary wildlife on the planet, blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas, tropical penguins. The people behind this technology are fighting to make sure this precious ecosystem is preserved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/f9e08877-8f4b-4485-9688-5ca5a4691082/Galapagos-Landscape-MartinSikma-2025.jpg Blog - The Galápagos Just Got Smarter: A New Era of Conservation on Floreana Island Written by Gabe Rios Sources: Island Conservation, islandconservation.org · Down to Earth, downtoearth.org.in Image credit in order of appearance: Floreana Coastline © Island Conservation; Doug Gillings Shows Monitoring System © Island Conservation; Camera Setup © Island Conservation & Jocotoco; Example of Camera Monitoring © Doug Gillings; Pair of Blue-Footed Boobies © Wes Walker; Galápagos Landscape © Martin Sikma https://www.inca1.com/blog/current-joint-us-and-ecuadorian-joint-military-actions monthly 0.5 2026-03-04 https://www.inca1.com/blog/vp-marika-and-innovation monthly 0.5 2026-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/44068388-f861-4a89-8f3e-5886a4171b28/INCA-Vtg-PR-1979-Urubamba-006-Marika_Rafting+copy.jpg Blog - For VP Marika Roberson, a lifetime of travel has become a roadmap for innovation Growing up in Northern California, Marika spent her formative years adventuring with her family, traveling from Canada to Baja California, camping along the coast, backpacking in the Sierras, and whitewater rafting wild and scenic rivers. These trips weren’t always easy, but the pull of exploration was clear early on and always worth it. “These were do-it-yourself river adventures: an army-surplus raft (christened The Rubber Chicken for its habit of flipping just half the boat at a time), a handmade frame, second-hand oars and paddles, and a lot of hoopie keeping everything together. Everyone pitched in at every stage—from pumping up the raft and setting up the porta-potty to baking Dutch-oven dessert and listening to tall tales told on the river. We worked hard and shared the rewards: the satisfaction of a challenge met, and the quiet awe of moving through extraordinary landscapes by non-mechanical means. Hard work, hard reward.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/fbf3bfcc-fd0e-40d9-bae0-63838699ded9/INCA-1979-Peru-BlueBinder-003.jpg Blog - For VP Marika Roberson, a lifetime of travel has become a roadmap for innovation Those early experiences shaped a life spent in motion. Creativity, hard work, and moments of awe—often paired with good food in remarkable places—became guiding themes. When Bill, Marika’s father and founder of INCA, began bringing people together through travel, Marika joined him, drawing directly from those formative river journeys. “These skills became the foundation of our company, translating naturally to a rugged, cross-Andean horse trek. They translated to the Galápagos as well, which, in the early days, was a similarly raw experience to rafting—somewhat primitive yachts set within a truly phenomenal natural world.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/a15d5298-3b28-4b79-aab7-10fa48b9f860/Marika-2023-ANT-PorkLockroy-JouglaIslandDSC_8852-3.jpg Blog - For VP Marika Roberson, a lifetime of travel has become a roadmap for innovation As INCA grew, so did Marika. From guiding early treks to studying physics and art at UC Santa Cruz, and then returning to INCA, exploration, both literal and metaphorical, remained central. Along the way, she developed a deep understanding of adaptation and how new ways of thinking take root, lessons she believes can be shared by all. She offers this guidance for creating something without a clear roadmap: “Look at places without preconceived notions of what a destination or experience should be, especially those shaped by how others choose to present it. Listen instead to the people on the ground: those who live there, work there, and move through those landscapes every day. What inspires them? Then bridge your ideal clients’ desires with the growth you hope to offer them, which most often happens when people are gently challenged or irresistibly seduced by awe. The ability to meet uncertainty with adaptability, a can-do spirit, and thoughtful problem-solving is essential.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/9c4ce8c1-8cf5-4891-84ea-78267ddafd2e/IMG_0283.jpg Blog - For VP Marika Roberson, a lifetime of travel has become a roadmap for innovation Innovation, it turns out, begins with listening, fully and openly, and then carrying what we learn outward, like the concentric ripples formed when a stone meets the surface of a pond. And now more than ever, we might need Marika’s advice in an ever-changing world. Unlike the early days of INCA and the personal adventures along the West Coast, today’s travel landscape is much more informed. Trails have mostly been blazed; off-the-beaten path is a trend, and so much can be known about so many places with little effort in research. To Marika, that does not mean we don’t adapt; it just means the challenge is different. And for anyone who is struggling with the changes of global travel, Marika offers this: “Today, in the age of social media, there are few places left undiscovered or unpromoted. Back then, the challenge was sparking excitement about a place people had never heard of, often well outside their comfort zone, and simply getting them there was a meaningful part of their growth. Now, the challenge is different: to present a destination in an uncommon way, one that allows for transformation through how the place is thoughtfully developed and how deeply a traveler is invited to immerse themselves within it.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/67b9405d-d165-4445-a858-6938b8d3d2e7/2023+0301+From+Falklands+to+South+Georgia+IMG_6132.jpg Blog - For VP Marika Roberson, a lifetime of travel has become a roadmap for innovation Perhaps the next frontier to be explored is not external, but internal. If we follow Marika’s thinking here, the same places can reveal new excitement when approached with a fresh perspective and a newly calibrated internal compass. This is the intention guiding INCA as it enters its 51st year: to continue bringing guests to extraordinary places with renewed purpose. https://www.inca1.com/blog/travel-is-creative monthly 0.5 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/26ff0e74-bbca-46a9-a132-0ff41c133e50/Antarctic+iceberg Blog - Travel is inherently creative—but how do we make the most of it? Travel naturally wakes us up. New places pull us out of autopilot, sharpening our senses and nudging us to make meaning from what we see, feel, and experience. In that space of alertness, creativity quietly comes alive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/f81f074e-177e-442e-86c0-58e40a1f13af/embracing+a+giant+of+the+forest.jpg Blog - Travel is inherently creative—but how do we make the most of it? Not all travel expands us in the same way. Growth happens along a spectrum—shaped by how we plan, the mindset we bring, how we move through a place, and how we carry the experience home. When we look at a journey as a whole, creativity has room to bloom at every step. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/0b46e695-73fb-4e23-a20f-cf618cc4adf5/IMG_0265.jpg Blog - Travel is inherently creative—but how do we make the most of it? From INCA’s earliest days—trekking little-known routes in the Peruvian Andes—we’ve believed that new landscapes can stretch our understanding of the world. Today, even remote destinations often feel familiar before we arrive, thanks to films, blogs, and social media. But that doesn’t diminish the magic. It simply invites us to engage more intentionally, allowing each place to surprise us in fresh ways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/cb4056aa-cd32-4c28-98cd-bfe09b28baaf/Guests+walk+with+school+children Blog - Travel is inherently creative—but how do we make the most of it? At INCA, we believe thoughtful, engaged travel makes the world better. Whether exploring far-flung destinations or well-known ones, connection matters—to people, history, wildlife, food, land, and sky. Travel isn’t one-directional; it’s a living exchange between traveler and place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/43b2b1f7-edc0-4950-a16c-009e8b0fcc26/Galapagos+serenity Blog - Travel is inherently creative—but how do we make the most of it? So we invite you to travel openly. Read what inspires you. Stay connected to loved ones. Bring a journal, a camera, and plenty of questions. Let curiosity lead the way. Because if travel is an art—and at its best, it is—the final expression is awe. https://www.inca1.com/blog/patagonia-fjords-and-glaciers monthly 0.5 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/1627930482814-FHMEPA39KQH94SJ4RYBR/glaciar-pia-2.jpg Blog - The Glacial World of Patagonia's Fjords Patagonia’s fjords, glaciers, and coastal ecosystems are changing fast. Rising temperatures and glacial retreats mean that these dramatic landscapes are not as permanent as they once seemed. But there is hope: conservation initiatives across Chile and Argentina, from expanded marine protected areas to new preservation programs, are giving Patagonia’s wild places a fighting chance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/30575ec9-9eab-49ba-b30e-bc9a4d238107/australis-experience6.png Blog - The Glacial World of Patagonia's Fjords A voyage through the southern fjords offers an intimate view into this region that few travelers ever get. Purpose-built ships navigate narrow channels and hidden coves that larger vessels cannot reach, bringing you face-to-face with landscapes that were first shaped over 2 million years ago. Towering cliffs and waterfalls frame fjords that have been carved over millennia, while the waterway itself is filled with life. Dolphins play in the ship’s wake, as sea lions sun themselves on rocky outcrops and migrating whales pass through the icy channels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/57906ae6-a391-40de-b9c6-e0753913daba/Patagonia-Pia-Glacier-IS.jpg Blog - The Glacial World of Patagonia's Fjords At the heart of this journey are the glaciers. The secluded Pia Glacier, accessible only by sea, is astoundingly large, with ice walls over 300 feet high and a total square footage the size of Chile’s capital city, Santiago. While most Patagonian glaciers are shrinking dramatically, the Pia glacier is one of the few in the world that continues to grow. Porter Glacier winds between rocky cliffs, while glaciers descending from the Darwin Mountain Range, like the melting Aguila Glacier, form lagoons that you can explore on foot. The chance to trace the valleys of these icy monuments, formed before humans ever walked the Earth, is awe inspiring — but it’s also a lesson in Earth’s fragility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/1562882378542-U7WXDBR4IP04ZC4CQFCK/australis-experience8.png Blog - The Glacial World of Patagonia's Fjords Every excursion, whether a zodiac ride through a secluded channel or a walk along a glacial lagoon, transforms your journey into an active engagement with this remote environment.

One option, near the window, we all agreed looked better, while the other, near the door, was more functional. Why one looked better was hard to say, and how we all agreed is even more perplexing, but the functionality had clear reasoning. Because it was a hat rack and thus did serve a specific purpose, we chose the practical option, and then made it look good with some extra effort. What I most enjoyed about the process was that it was thoughtful. Functionality vs. aesthetics is often treated as opposing values, but they don’t have to be, and a little extra intention is all it takes to merge the two (this idea forms the whole basis of feng shui). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/af30b9a5-ade0-489d-858e-e2cdbac352e7/Integrity-98-2.jpg Blog - Building for a Lasting World—Galápagos Yacht Integrity's 20th Year As I put my limited interior design skills to use while planning out our new living room, I couldn’t help but think of our team at INCA. Intentionality is something I am very proud of in being part of a team that carefully designs trips in the Galápagos, using the functional and stunning yacht Integrity as a home base. Integrity was built with the understanding that beauty can live in harmony with thoughtful design—and that the two don’t have to be at odds. Integrity was built to last. In 2025, it celebrated its 20th year cruising the waters of Galápagos without missing a day of service for committed travelers. That is not an accident. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/e58b20a0-0a34-4144-a9b8-b4e8d9983f4f/Galapagos-Yacht-Integrity-Pati-Stucki-IMG_5665.jpg Blog - Building for a Lasting World—Galápagos Yacht Integrity's 20th Year Designing a boat that would be sturdy enough to last meant finding materials with specific qualities; from engine parts to the wood for the interior accents, to the materials for the stabilizers and deck, each aspect was thought through with sustainability and functionality in mind. In a place where balance with nature is the collective goal, it’s imperative to use resources wisely so that we are not extracting more than we need to. Thinking about our resource use is a key ingredient in our definition of Integrity, in part because the owners and operators have called the Galápagos home for more than 50 years. This is why they harvested an invasive tree species to provide the wood for the ship’s interior. It is why Integrity spends a month each year in dry dock to ensure the boat is well cared for and maintained. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/d3e70580-4c93-412d-ad73-bae9980b7f25/Integrity-99.jpg Blog - Building for a Lasting World—Galápagos Yacht Integrity's 20th Year When the team set out to renovate the boat just over a year ago, our goal was to elevate the aesthetic while ensuring the design reflected the natural beauty of the islands. The design and quality of the materials were thoroughly examined to balance environmental impact with the guest experience, doing as much as possible to limit the extractive nature of a remodel while maximizing the awe-inspiring potential of a journey through one of the natural wonders of our world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/5f342ce0-3cd1-47bd-b0a4-cc37bfb35494/Integrity-189.jpg Blog - Building for a Lasting World—Galápagos Yacht Integrity's 20th Year It’s easy to believe that newer is better—but Integrity tells a different story. As we hang our hat on 2025 and set sail into 2026, we hope Integrity will continue cruising for another 20 years. We are proud to call this vessel our home in the Galápagos—a boat whose durability and beauty are the natural result of intention carried through from start to finish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/68f27338-1f44-4028-97c0-23fe2291c2fa/Integrity-417-2.jpg Blog - Building for a Lasting World—Galápagos Yacht Integrity's 20th Year Written by Jasper Roberson-Schulz To cruise the Galápagos Islands aboard Integrity click here » https://www.inca1.com/blog/citizen-science-in-antarctica monthly 0.5 2025-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/1fdba0bb-6581-48f8-a1cc-847d27357371/Antarctica-230313-KIM-Roberson-DSC_0673_1.jpg Blog - Citizen Science in Antarctica: When Travel Becomes Contribution When we venture into the world, our impact is felt by the places we go, just as it is felt in the heart and soul of ourselves. There may be no destination that exemplifies that more than Antarctica, and at INCA, we are mindful to always travel there with care and intention. One very real way to do this is through citizen science—the public’s participation and collaboration in scientific research. Citizens, and in many cases travelers, help further our collective knowledge by contributing to the collection of data on a scale not available for traditional science alone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/7cfce359-3d7b-4bf2-bfa7-3b9cc2d72b36/Polar-Latitudes-Antarctica-People_zodiac_cruising.jpg Blog - Citizen Science in Antarctica: When Travel Becomes Contribution The data provided by polar regions about the very nature of our planet has long been sought after—and for good reason. There is so much that is unique about the coldest and most remote places on Earth: the biome stands on its own, the flora and fauna are resilient in the harshest conditions, and the people who go there are themselves a unique part of our species. Human history in Antarctica is relatively short, but the natural history is long and illuminating. Because humans have such a difficult time living in the region, nature is still king—something we actively seek to maintain and study. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/5a71b6f7-845d-4da0-9370-5589fcef5073/ANT-Citizen-Science-Rock-v-Beetle.jpg Blog - Citizen Science in Antarctica: When Travel Becomes Contribution Due to the remoteness and high expense of reaching Antarctica, scientists have often struggled to find the resources needed to document the region’s natural phenomena. That is where citizen science plays a vital role. Too often, tourism is an extractive experience: people travel, have a good time, and return home feeling the journey has ended, existing only as a memory. We try to change that by engaging more deeply with a destination. By making each traveler a potential vessel for research, the impact lives on—both in the traveler and in the place—in a positive way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/efc86e9c-2c2b-4b61-9a4b-27820efe2752/ANT-Citizen-Science-Cloud-Survey-IMG_1805.jpg Blog - Citizen Science in Antarctica: When Travel Becomes Contribution Guests who embark on an INCA excursion to Antarctica, operated by Polar Latitudes, can help researchers in a variety of ways: they might participate in bird-sighting surveys, document details about the behavior of remote species, or collect water samples to learn how melting glaciers affect the ocean's salinity. By recording cloud cover and type, then timing it with NASA satellite flyovers, they can help scientists understand how clouds respond to a changing climate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/3dcef7c5-c29b-4a1c-8f9b-a03381d7fe49/ANT-Citizen-Science-Seaweed-DSCN0472.png Blog - Citizen Science in Antarctica: When Travel Becomes Contribution This data complements what traditional science cannot capture on its own. The journey helps support data collection at greater scale and over longer periods, revealing the subtle ebbs and flows of the natural world. Seeing it unfold is extraordinary. At the same time, it gives each traveler the chance to be part of a destination in a way that goes deeper and lasts longer. Many projects, such as bird and whale tracking, remain interactive even after the trip has ended. Travelers can follow progress, observe changes, and see the real consequences of their participation in this scientific research. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/9cfb2289-7145-44b6-b211-04f11248455f/Antarctic-Cruise-Peninsula-Humback-Whale-Tale.jpg Blog - Citizen Science in Antarctica: When Travel Becomes Contribution Recently, a slowdown zone for ships was agreed upon in a high-activity area for humpback whales, reducing stress on the animals. This would not have been possible without the help of travelers collecting and submitting their own data through citizen science programs. There are currently more than ten projects being supported by the data travelers collect on trips with Polar Latitudes, all with real engagement and measurable impact. Though the contributions may seem small, shifting how we interact with travel holds enormous potential for positive change.

We first went to Türkiye in 1996, during a time when founder Bill Roberson had been deeply moved by Peru and the almost unfathomably advanced Incan civilization—still present in the stewardship of the land and the architecture that withstands the wear of time. In Türkiye, like Peru, the traces of humanity’s past are in plain sight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/be169936-57f7-4036-919c-b614a55449ca/INCA-Vtg-TK-Reel_1-073-Ruins.jpg Blog - Insights on Türkiye—from our origins to now We started in Cappadocia, where the most ancient evidence of civilization-building is preserved. From the beginning, we knew we needed to travel with a local guide who could breathe new life into the archaeological sites and bring alive stories of yore. Culture and history interweave in the art of a story, so finding the right storyteller is as important as finding the right relic. Throughout our time in Türkiye, we met close friend and advisor, Kazim Uzunoglu, and expert guide, Bihter Kuranel, who still help illuminate the scope of this history for all our travelers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/ea58fa40-8b7e-40d3-89bd-fa003bc6e87f/INCA-Vtg-TK-Reel_1-046-ISTANBUL-Market-KIM_and_ELIZA.jpg Blog - Insights on Türkiye—from our origins to now After Cappadocia, we ventured south across the Anatolian plain to the seaside city of Antalya, slowly progressing through time as if watching the arc of human advancement unfold over the ages. In Antalya we boarded a Gulet (a traditional Turkish yacht) and set sail along the Turquoise Coast. It was during that time that Bill, and trip specialist Eliza Tenza, who were integral in putting together our early adventures, knew that this awe-filled experience needed to be shared with our travelers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/deb77164-8b34-4204-9cc8-6f4e5d498ab7/Picture+5.jpg Blog - Insights on Türkiye—from our origins to now The monastery ruins, Cleopatra’s baths, and the ancient city of Lydae all offered new context for how humankind developed, and with expert guidance, the stories made our place in time awe-inspiring. With its clear, incredible water and hikes filled with wildflowers in spring, the setting brought unbridled joy. Our start was rooted in that joy and the clarity of mind that being so present in an amazing place can bring us. It wasn’t long before we began to share the Turkish experience with our travelers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/b825bc2c-da0e-401f-912f-d785df26ab29/INCA-Vtg-TK-Reel_1-042-ISTANBUL-Bay_View.jpg Blog - Insights on Türkiye—from our origins to now Today our trip follows the same path from antiquity to modernity.

This year, Turkey has been included in the prestigious Wanderlust 2025 Travel Green List, recognizing the country as a rising leader in sustainable travel. The magazine notes Turkey’s “huge size, breadth of landscapes, and the wealth of opportunities” for travellers, who can rest assured that their visit will help maintain one of the world’s most unique destinations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/b1eb52d2-92d5-42b3-92cd-d65b4d5d962a/TK_2015_150524_BR_0294.jpg Blog - Good News: Setting an Example for Sustainable Tourism in Türkiye The country became the first nation to sign an agreement with the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, which aims to make 100% of its accommodations “certified sustainable” by 2030. The program also supports visitor management plans for Turkey’s many Unesco World Heritage sites, like the ancient city of Ephesus. Here, travelers can walk marble roads once trod by Romans and early Christians, stand before the grand facade of the Library of Celsus, and wander among terrace houses adorned with mosaics, bringing daily life from 2,000 years ago vividly into the present. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/bd6eb0e4-fa76-4107-90d2-4bf831ac3300/iStock-458954047.jpg Blog - Good News: Setting an Example for Sustainable Tourism in Türkiye But that’s not the only reason to celebrate. The country’s Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change has recently announced an ambitious target of raising the share of protected land to 30% by 2030. Among the regions slated for stronger protection is the western province of İzmir, a region home to rolling olive groves, pine-dotted hillsides, and quiet coastal wetlands. Now, when you wander through the farmer’s market in the historic village of Selçuk—breathing in the scents of produce gathered from the surrounding hills—you’ll know that the landscapes behind these traditions are being carefully safeguarded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/04a9fefb-1603-4275-a0af-61b01ea23a54/TK_2015_150515_BR_0067.jpg Blog - Good News: Setting an Example for Sustainable Tourism in Türkiye With Turkey’s growing commitment to protection through tourism, your excursion is more than just a sightseeing tour.

But scientists have recently discovered that these pint-sized comedians of the Southern Ocean are doing far more than waddling around charming visitors. They’re actually helping to cool the continent, with a little help from nature’s byproduct. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/ec2dcb54-025b-40ec-94dc-241de6dcd475/Adelie-iceberg.jpg Blog - Good News: Penguins May Be the Unlikely Climate Heroes of the Antarctic Researchers from the University of Helsinki recently observed a colony of 60,000 Adélie penguins on Seymour Island—near the northernmost tip of the Antarctic Peninsula—and discovered that the gases from penguin poop may help fuel cloud formation. When penguins gather in large colonies, they leave behind guano (or droppings) rich in ammonia, which floats into the atmosphere. Scientists found that the gases from this guano create clouds, which can lower temperatures in the Antarctic. The formations act like giant reflectors, bouncing back sunlight that would otherwise heat the planet. The result is nature’s most adorable atmospheric engineering. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/1710544461177-8OAALUE7POIGXYN73Q09/DSC_5554.JPG Blog - Good News: Penguins May Be the Unlikely Climate Heroes of the Antarctic This is not to say Antarctica has been saved by seabird digestive chemistry. Rising ocean temperatures are already squeezing penguin food sources, and some colonies are shrinking. Scientists warn that if penguins decline, this cloudy “climate assist” fades with them, creating a worrying feedback loop. (The cuteness, in other words, is consequential.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/1718128976546-JX79P25IS26AC3CIQ32J/ANT_2023_KR_DSC_0398-Gentoo-Neko_Harbor-2.jpg Blog - Good News: Penguins May Be the Unlikely Climate Heroes of the Antarctic But here’s the good news: because penguins are so deeply tied to their ecosystem, protecting them safeguards much more than a single species. Their success becomes a stand-in for the health and resilience of an entire region, including krill, ice, ocean currents, and more. And unlike so many climate stories that feel impossibly large, this one has a rather small and surprisingly waddly entry point. When we safeguard the wildlife, Antarctica quite literally bounces back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/e8bb1667-bb0e-4807-947a-c863ebab628d/IMG_3382.jpg Blog - Good News: Penguins May Be the Unlikely Climate Heroes of the Antarctic For travelers, this is part of what makes an expedition to the White Continent so moving: you’re seeing a living ecosystem whose future is still being written. Responsible visits create the awareness and scientific support that help keep these colonies protected, which means more clouds overhead and more penguins thriving on the ice. And that’s news worth celebrating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/1698336721667-5DGNPKENZVVOPG37JFH7/antarctica_family_banner2.jpg Blog - Good News: Penguins May Be the Unlikely Climate Heroes of the Antarctic Written by Emily Topping If you’d like to visit these climate protectors for yourself, explore Antarctica here » https://www.inca1.com/blog/a-trip-to-the-falkland-islands monthly 0.5 2025-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/dfd7aa18-2aff-4431-a711-11b4d93f6c83/DSC_1234.png Blog - Best Kept Secrets: the Falkland Islands - How much does the average American know about the Falkland Islands? After conducting a very unscientific poll of my dear friends—most of whom are educated and travel quite a bit—it became clear that the answer is “not a whole lot.” Some knew that there had been contention over landownership between England and Argentina, and that to Argentinians the islands are still known as Las Malvinas, but other than that I received blank stares. (Even putting this intercountry strife in writing evokes some potential tension, given the region’s long and complicated geopolitical history.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/ff401fde-6019-4fe3-a27c-a84c65bd5514/DSC_1162.png Blog - Best Kept Secrets: the Falkland Islands Since Antarctica first joined our family of adventures, we knew we wanted to offer an in-depth exploration of all the region’s awe-inspiring places—because if you’re going to take the trip of a lifetime to one of the least visited places on earth, you shouldn’t return home thinking there was something you missed. From our initial visits, we found that the even-lesser-visited Falkland Islands and South Georgia Island are more than just extra days, they are marvels of their own, not to be overlooked. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/6f45862c-54ad-4281-9b79-b2dfb69899f9/DSC_0747.JPG Blog - Best Kept Secrets: the Falkland Islands Spurred by our belief that we can never have too much firsthand experience of the trips we send our guests on, we send our team to the “field” regularly to make sure everything is as inspiring, and well-designed, as ever. On our most recent trek to the southernmost continent, INCA’s vice president, Marika Roberson, took a journey on our Antarctic expedition to see what treasures and insights she could discover. Her travels did not disappoint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/a3299692-5128-45ff-9c77-46fe3d3f3f6f/IMG_5072+copy.jpg Blog - Best Kept Secrets: the Falkland Islands After taking the overnight cruise from Ushuaia, Marika’s time in the Falklands began with a sunrise over a tundra that she described as “almost otherworldly.” The calm air and cloud cover gave her a sense of peace as she rode a skiff—a shallow, lightweight boat—to the adventure’s first landing site. Marika’s main piece of advice to anyone experiencing the Falklands for the first time is simple: “Get to know the expedition team. Talk to them about their specific interests and what scientific projects they are working on,” she says. “If you find out who you connect with on the team from the beginning, they can bring the secrets and hidden gems of the destination to you.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/9e60524d-29d3-433e-a41d-cca82687fa38/IMG_5583+copy.jpg Blog - Best Kept Secrets: the Falkland Islands For Marika, this meant the ability to explore longer hikes to areas that are less frequently travelled. On one trek, she found a local berry called a diddle-dee, which is ripe during the Southern Hemispheres’ fall—and while wandering through a patch of these berries, she happened to encounter an adorable young penguin, away from the larger colonies that travelers see during their time in the Falklands. For Marika and her sister, Kim, who joined her on the adventure, these moments of remote solitude were the stuff of irreplaceable memories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/560095a4-532b-4bf8-846c-8388ecc289e1/DSC_0804.png Blog - Best Kept Secrets: the Falkland Islands As much joy that exploring solo brought, it was just as much fun interacting with her fellow travelers, observing the larger colonies of birds, and getting a sense of the local culture. The first stop of the trip is to a small island called West Point, where four people run a landing site. This location brings adventurers to nests of black-browed albatross, rockhopper penguins, and striated caracaras. “This first wildlife encounter brings the excitement levels way up as each traveler marvels at these incredible and beautiful birds in such numbers,” she says. “If only we knew how awesome the wildlife to come would be, we would know that this was only a taste of what was to come.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/87d57717-7efd-4fca-a7c9-3e0f13206528/IMG_5053+copy.jpg Blog - Best Kept Secrets: the Falkland Islands The group of hikers then returned to the dock area, where a local woman served warm tea and biscuits to a room filled with the most avid travelers and expedition guides. Here, the awe of the journey began to sink in and many stories were shared. That’s when Marika discovered her second piece of key insight: “Ask as many questions of the gracious hosts as you can. They are happy to tell you about their ways of life, and in the Falkland Islands, this is a unique conversation.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/92425826-183f-47e1-91c4-3d1ac9f39dfa/IMG_5902+copy.jpg Blog - Best Kept Secrets: the Falkland Islands After West Point, the cruise headed to Stanley. There, after berry-picking, Marika and Kim beelined to the Falkland Island Distillers, where the islands’ only gin makers handcraft small-batch spirits infused with local ingredients like kelp—sold only to travelers passing through. As luck would have it, the entire expedition team showed up, arms full of gifts for their loved ones. While most of the people visiting Stanley went out to the town cafes, bars, and restaurants (which all had uniqueness and charm) the place to be for Marika was the distillery. As she mentioned, it’s always a good idea to get to know the expedition team; it will bring a trip to life in all kinds of ways. It might even lead to shared laughs over a glass of locally made gin on your way to Antarctica. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/6ecddfa2-d48e-4c59-aff7-e4fbe49c6721/DSC_0733.png Blog - Best Kept Secrets: the Falkland Islands The truth is, for many people the Falklands aren’t just mysterious—they’re not even on the radar. It is a region hidden from the scope of large-scale tourism and thus has the capacity to surprise. Because of this, we ask that you keep the secrets of this article to only you and your closest friends and family. That way, we can maintain the joy of small-scale travel in a place that holds so much interest—from wildlife, to landscape, to local culture and tradition, to history and geopolitics. We hope Marika’s insights can inspire you to embark on your own Antarctic adventure, without overlooking the incredible Falklands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/0717bbcb-1a04-40d2-aa09-29fbb6862e82/DSC_0879.png Blog - Best Kept Secrets: the Falkland Islands Written by Jasper Roberson-Schulz If you’d like to take this same adventure, explore here » https://www.inca1.com/blog/galapagos-winter-travel-guide monthly 0.5 2025-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/6dff1f46-9a3a-4bb2-81a5-f4b1a42167e3/film-photography-galapagos-islands-tortoise.jpg Blog - Winter Season on the Equator: Why Travel to the Galápagos in January & February - What is the Galapagos like in Winter?

Visit Bachas Beach on Santa Cruz and you may notice the tell-tale signs of turtle flippers trailing up the dunes where mothers have dug their burrows to lay eggs. The process is full of wonder—even the development of the hatchlings depends on temperature, with warmer sand producing females and cooler sand producing males. Meanwhile, iguanas take center stage. Land iguanas are beginning their mating season, vying for the attention of potential partners, while marine iguanas dazzle with spectacular colors. On Española Island, these reptiles turn striking shades of red and green, earning them the nickname “Christmas Iguanas.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/a927e8a3-7a12-489f-9e7c-46ad913f96df/West_Floreana_flamingos_Weston+Walker-Knoblich.jpg Blog - Winter Season on the Equator: Why Travel to the Galápagos in January & February - Flourishing Bird Life By February, the action only intensifies.

But what if we told you that your Ecuadorian adventure doesn’t have to end when your Galápagos cruise does? In fact, extending your trip by just a few days will open the door to encounters that are every bit as unforgettable as the islands themselves. Ecuador’s mainland is rich with history, culture, and breathtaking natural landscapes. From colonial cities to vibrant markets to lush rainforests, this small but diverse country offers travelers an incredible depth of experiences. “Life is short,” says INCA CEO Bill Roberson. “For lots of people, this might be their one chance to explore this part of the world, so why not take full advantage?” But you can’t be so sure—after getting a taste of Ecuador’s mainland, you might just find it impossible not to return. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/99a792d6-1639-4481-9b3c-2217a0757c5b/iStock-1148909679.jpg Blog - Why You Should Extend Your Galápagos Journey to Explore Mainland Ecuador - Wander through the streets of Quito Your gateway to mainland Ecuador is Quito, the nation’s capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At over 9,000 feet above sea level, Quito sits high in the Andes and is renowned for its colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and ornate churches. A stroll through the Old Town feels like stepping back in time. You might spend a day admiring the golden Church of La Compañía de Jesús, taking in sweeping views from the hilltop statue of El Panecillo, or exploring lively plazas where local life unfolds against a backdrop of centuries-old buildings. Quito is more than a city to pass through on the way to the Galápagos; it’s a destination worth savoring (and we’re not just talking about the world-class chocolate and coffee). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/839c82d1-97a1-4f26-a73b-6be3789541b4/otavalo-market-ecuador.jpg Blog - Why You Should Extend Your Galápagos Journey to Explore Mainland Ecuador - Discover the colors of Otavalo A two-hour drive north of Quito brings you to Otavalo, a town famous for its indigenous Quechua culture and one of the most vibrant markets in Latin America. The Otavalo Market is legendary for a reason. There, stall after stall bursts with handwoven textiles, leather goods, jewelry, and traditional crafts. It’s a wonderful place to bring home souvenirs that are not only beautiful but also deeply connected to Ecuador’s cultural heritage. But Otavalo is more than just its market. The surrounding region offers scenic hikes, tranquil lakes, and opportunities to connect with indigenous traditions that have been passed down for generations. For travelers looking to immerse themselves in authentic Ecuadorian culture, this is an essential stop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/4c239a8d-8018-46e6-8857-bc27342b948b/Zuleta_Rooms+patio.jpg Blog - Why You Should Extend Your Galápagos Journey to Explore Mainland Ecuador - Experience Hacienda life in the Highlands Collecting samples on a bug net https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/382be298-a900-4d75-b535-25086ce0b948/porvenir+07.jpg Blog - Why You Should Extend Your Galápagos Journey to Explore Mainland Ecuador Meanwhile, El Porvenir sits in the foothills of the Rumiñahui volcano, offering the perfect place to explore the Andean highlands.

The leaf-toed gecko was thought to have vanished from Rábida Island, but a new scientific paper reveals that the tiny reptile is back and thriving. Their comeback story points to the resilience and fragility of this beautiful corner of the world. Leaf-toed geckos measure a little over three inches long and mostly make their appearances at nighttime. For decades, scientists believed that the geckos were wiped from the island prior to humans’ arrival in the early 1500s: no one had ever caught a glimpse of the nocturnal reptiles, and the only proof of their existence came from fossilized remains that were at least 5,000 years old. It turns out, these little creatures just need a fighting chance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/5d9f8f5b-fd53-4c65-a39c-9972923d4422/isla_rabida_credit_island_conservation.jpg Blog - Good News: The Triumphant Return of a Galápagos Gecko Because the Galápagos region is so remote, its wildlife rests on a delicate balance. The islands’ lack of natural predators has allowed for large, friendly animals to evolve, but it also means species are highly vulnerable—and when pirates and whalers arrived in the 17th century, there was more than stolen treasure stowed on their ships. Invasive rats soon scurried from the sailors’ boats and swarmed the fragile ecosystem, causing a biological nightmare. The rodents took over multiple islands and decimated species as they feasted on the eggs of native birds and reptiles. It wasn’t until scientists embarked on a daring extermination plan of the invasive rats that local species were given a fighting chance. In 2012, just months after the eradication, a researcher spotted a living leaf-toed gecko. That first specimen was briefly collected and then lost to science, leaving behind only a tantalizing clue. Could it be possible that this “extinct” reptile had been hiding in plain sight all along? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/58555f25-b964-412d-96c2-d23d8281f3bf/R%C3%A1bida+Gecko_Credit+Island+Conservation.jpg Blog - Good News: The Triumphant Return of a Galápagos Gecko The answer came years later. According to the newly-released paper, surveys in 2019 and 2021 turned up not one, but multiple individuals. DNA analysis confirmed their identity, meaning the elusive Rábida Island leaf-toed gecko was alive, thriving, and genetically distinct enough to be considered a unique population. In other words, Rábida wasn’t just home to any gecko—it was home to its own gecko, one that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. “The return of this gecko highlights nature’s incredible power to heal itself when given the chance,” says Paula Castaño, the Impact Program Manager at Island Conservation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/0713bcae-f2e4-4c06-a54b-764890272d93/FlightlessCormorant5.jpg Blog - Good News: The Triumphant Return of a Galápagos Gecko Collecting samples on a bug net https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/824c3f12-be36-4ca8-b5c2-1b21c41e5329/phyllodactylus+maresi.+Credit_+Island+Conservation.png Blog - Good News: The Triumphant Return of a Galápagos Gecko Article by Emily Topping Images courtesy of Island Conservation Rábida is a stop on the Eastern Route of our Galápagos Islands journeys. https://www.inca1.com/blog/into-the-heart-of-the-tambopata monthly 0.5 2025-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/9d98e372-47dd-4d36-951f-ca481eba5370/Striated+heron+IN+THE+LAKE+BY+PAUL+BERTNER.jpg Blog - Into the Heart of the Tambopata: Luxury, Discovery, and Conservation with Rainforest Expeditions - Into the Heart of the Tambopata Luxury, Discovery, and Conservation with Rainforest Expeditions Written by Emily Topping https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/85e68380-f728-4b15-af5f-17c2c933b241/Rainforest+Expeditions+Peru+Duski+Titi+Monkey+by+Hugo+Cliff.jpeg Blog - Into the Heart of the Tambopata: Luxury, Discovery, and Conservation with Rainforest Expeditions Deep in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, where scarlet macaws soar overhead and a chorus of howler monkeys rings through the trees, Rainforest Expeditions invites travelers to step into a world few ever experience. For more than three decades, this pioneering ecotourism company has welcomed guests to its three ecolodges—Posada Amazonas, Refugio Amazonas, and the Tambopata Research Center—each one tucked within the extraordinary Tambopata National Reserve. “Our travelers aren’t like common travelers. They don’t just come to take pictures from far away,” says the group’s outreach director, Rocío Guzmán. “They want to experience the forest, and help us protect it.” The magic of staying in Tambopata goes beyond the extraordinary views. It’s a chance to fully immerse yourself in one of the most biodiverse regions of the world—one in which scientists are still discovering new species every year. If you’re lucky, you might even help them do it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/4b8d5a4d-4817-4c3e-b452-d19ac8bd8f76/Blue+and+yellow+macaws+by+Paul+Bertner-2.jpg Blog - Into the Heart of the Tambopata: Luxury, Discovery, and Conservation with Rainforest Expeditions The company’s story begins with the beauty of birds. In 1989, wildlife photographer Eduardo Nycander ventured to the Tambopata River and was stunned by the sheer spectacle of parrots and macaws. He also knew how vulnerable their existence was, as illegal wildlife poaching threatened to drive the birds to extinction. To protect them, Nycander secured a vast stretch of rainforest and began developing artificial nests to give macaws a fighting chance. A few years later, in 1994, National Geographic put Tambopata’s now-thriving macaws on its cover, bringing international attention to this fragile paradise. Soon after, Rainforest Expeditions took flight. From the beginning, the company’s goal was to not only welcome travelers to the jungle, but to make tourism a tool for its protection—a vision that meant working directly with locals. Rainforest Expeditions forged a groundbreaking partnership with the indigenous Ese Eja community, who co-manage Posada Amazonas and share its profits to this day. By working together, the benefits of conservation flow back to those who have called Tambopata home for generations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/5c8f3d36-c288-4b2b-be06-d78f34ace6ea/Rainforest+Expeditions+Peru+New+Posada+Amazonas+bridge+view+from+rooms+to+lobby.jpg Blog - Into the Heart of the Tambopata: Luxury, Discovery, and Conservation with Rainforest Expeditions Today, guests are able to trek through the dense forest in search of rare moths, follow tapir tracks at dawn, or glide across oxbow lakes where river otters frolic. At nightfall, they return not to damp tents, but to elegant wooden lodges with open-air rooms, fine meals, and attentive service. The lodges are designed to bring nature in: walls open to the forest, while breezes carry the sounds of insects and frogs. What truly sets Rainforest Expeditions apart, however, is the Wired Amazon program: a groundbreaking initiative that turns travelers into citizen scientists. Through the program, guests join researchers in the field, helping to collect vital data on wildlife. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/2fed76e6-c813-4881-87cb-c4386f9c6ac5/RainforestExpeditions+Citizen+Science+in+Peru.jpg Blog - Into the Heart of the Tambopata: Luxury, Discovery, and Conservation with Rainforest Expeditions Collecting samples on a bug net https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/a31a6fb2-002a-4d61-afb4-430c6420eb75/RainforestExpeditions+Listening+for+Monkeys+in+Peru.jpg Blog - Into the Heart of the Tambopata: Luxury, Discovery, and Conservation with Rainforest Expeditions Guests listen for the calls of monkeys https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/98dc62e3-60bc-4d04-bd87-942dfee91110/RainforestExpeditions+Peru+Saddle+back+tamarin+monkey+by+paul+bertner+2.jpg Blog - Into the Heart of the Tambopata: Luxury, Discovery, and Conservation with Rainforest Expeditions For Rainforest Expeditions, tourism is about the legacy of the land.

The GMR is over 76,000 square miles of protected area, making it the second largest marine reserve in the world, and it is home to over 3000 species—and 12 new whale sharks! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/af05b57e-a3d7-47f8-a5e8-76f51efe205a/_JYW3754_LRWM.jpg Blog - Good News: Whale Sharks in the Galapagos Led by scientists and park rangers, the team identified and tagged a rare adult male whale shark—a significant discovery, as 99% of the sightings in the area have been female and, before this expedition, no male sharks had been tagged. Now scientists can better track the differences in migration patterns and habits of male and female whale sharks. Not only did they finally get the chance to tag a male whale shark, but they also spotted a female that had last been recorded in the area 13 years ago. This sighting offers encouraging evidence that the animals are returning to this protected area long-term. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/80feceef-78d9-4a86-8d41-829e54fe0d93/_JYW4662_Splash%2BtagHRW.jpg Blog - Good News: Whale Sharks in the Galapagos Seven of the sharks sighted were equipped with SPLASH satellite devices, which are fixed by clamps on their dorsal fins.

As a cornerstone of sustainable tourism, a single shark is able to generate over $2 million in revenue over their lifetime due to drawing visitors in the hope of spotting these unique gentle giants. Because communities and visitors benefit significantly from their presence, there are increased local and global efforts to protect their populations in the long-term. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/1555704538110-H3EQCWZ0O9M9QI7Z0RF9/Sea+Turtle_Weston+Walker-Knoblich.jpg Blog - Good News: Whale Sharks in the Galapagos They are also considered an Umbrella Species. “Umbrella Species” are significant in conservation, as their protection safeguards many species that share their habitats–when you protect one, you help protect them all. For whale sharks, protection efforts in these habitats also protect manta rays, sea turtles, smaller sharks, and many more marine animals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/f6f92e08-0382-456d-a47b-e17cc31868b1/Whale-Sea-Of-Cortez.jpg Blog - Good News: Whale Sharks in the Galapagos - Multi-talented Nutrient Distributors As for their role in overall environmental health, they play a vital role in the ocean’s blue carbon system–a term referring to the carbon captured by the world’s coastal and ocean ecosystems. Through their deep dives and long migrations, they act almost as nutrients pollinators. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/6fe17e12-86fa-4bfb-91aa-df1414580808/_JRG7250LR.jpg Blog - Good News: Whale Sharks in the Galapagos Their contribution to the blue carbon system is twofold. Through feeding in nutrient-rich waters, they ingest huge amounts of biomass every day, then they migrate and enrich otherwise nutrient-deficient waters as that food passes through their digestive system and into the open ocean—similarly to how migratory birds distribute seeds. Their physical movement also plays a significant role in moving nutrients. By diving deep into mesopelagic and bathypelagic waters, they physically mix the water from the deep ocean and help bring nitrogen to the surface. This key nutrient stimulates the growth of phytoplankton. An environmental powerhouse, phytoplankton sequesters between 30-50 billion metric tons of carbon every year and represents around 40% of all plant-based carbon sequestration. It also produces around 50% of Earth’s oxygen—so protecting and supporting whale shark and other marine megafauna populations not only ensures the survival of magnificent creatures, but it also helps combat the impact of greenhouse gasses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/1737502702376-0RY6IOOTBQNU7VV9JHDQ/sea-lion-under-water-galapagos-islands.jpg Blog - Good News: Whale Sharks in the Galapagos - What This Means for the Galapagos Research expeditions and citizen science photo submissions have contributed to over 700 individual whale sharks recorded since 2001, signaling the Galapagos is both a healthy ecosystem for these largely mysterious creatures and a critical habitat for marine megafauna. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/c7cd6c7b-2a51-48c0-b371-c410fe38c6d4/pinnacle-rock-galapagos-visitor-site-westonw.jpg Blog - Good News: Whale Sharks in the Galapagos Through the efforts of many environmental protection projects like the Galapagos Whale Shark Project, the Galapagos Marine Reserve has proven to be an important sanctuary for endangered species and a key hub for researching the health and habits of many of the oceans most important inhabitants.

Imvelo’s work offers powerful proof that when done thoughtfully, travel doesn’t just minimize harm—it can drive meaningful, lasting good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/bdfd6bea-904c-40c1-ab1d-e11787bea157/244+-+Imvelo+Safari+Lodges+-+Jan+2016+-+with+thanks+to+Dirk+Brunner+%284+of+9%29.jpg Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Going Above and Beyond in Zimbabwe - An Inspiring Model for Conservation Imvelo’s approach to conservation is inherently local. In a region where wildlife and people live side by side, their work is based on a simple but often overlooked idea: if conservation is going to succeed, the people who live closest to the land must benefit from protecting it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/589b303d-d254-44a1-9073-e04e05d3500a/Imvelo+-+Camelthorn+-+Rhino+in+the+reception+%281+of+1%29-13.jpg Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Going Above and Beyond in Zimbabwe This philosophy is behind the Hwange Community Rhino Conservation Initiative. This bold, community-led project brought white rhinos back to this part of Zimbabwe for the first time in generations. The program is built on trust and participation rather than building fences or excluding nearby villages. Local leadership is involved at every level—from planning and employment to security and education. The result is more resilient than a typical protected area. This is conservation grown from within, rather than imposed from outside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/59d7d884-2d00-4e8a-8ecd-178aa14ec16d/164+Imvelo+Safari+Lodges+-+Ngamo+School+-+Thankyou+to+Rustad+School+and+D3+%2838+of+39%29.jpg Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Going Above and Beyond in Zimbabwe - Education as a Long-Term Investment Imvelo also invests heavily in education—not just in theory, but in ways that are personal, consistent, and meaningful. In 2024 alone, they supported 14 schools and over 3,000 students in communities near their lodges with school meals during two school terms. Their work ranges from building and repairing school infrastructure to providing supplies, training teachers, and funding scholarships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/b5770cfd-11d1-4d4d-881a-01072bba4844/2025+June+rhinos.jpg Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Going Above and Beyond in Zimbabwe One recent moment exemplifies this approach: students from the nearby Mlevu School were invited to visit the new rhino sanctuary, many for the first time. They didn’t just see rhinos—they spent time with the rangers who protect them, learned about the animal’s role in the ecosystem, and engaged in thoughtful conversation about conservation. As Imvelo’s team believes, “These kids are our future conservationists, wildlife guardians, vets, and scientists.” It’s one thing to support a cause. It’s another to build relationships that will shape and nurture it for years to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/d4b4da33-34a0-4071-92e6-1fd2dfe1db04/2025.03+Mlevu+school+children+at+sanctuary+2.jpeg Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Going Above and Beyond in Zimbabwe - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/c354d61e-fba2-41e8-a0c1-2e5d2e93cd3b/216+-+Imvelo+Safari+Lodges+-+Texas+Tech+Group+-+Collecting+water+at+Ngamo.jpg Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Going Above and Beyond in Zimbabwe - Why We Travel with Imvelo We choose our partners carefully, based not just on the experiences they offer but also on the values they live by. In Imvelo’s team, we see a rare combination of humility, heart, and action. They are quiet leaders in a region that matters deeply—not just for its wildlife but also for the people who share its space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/3041ec35-4c83-4422-ad11-c430d7c95987/234+-+Imvelo+Safari+Lodges+-+Lion+and+the+Elephant+Express.jpg Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Going Above and Beyond in Zimbabwe It’s an honor to bring guests to Hwange, knowing their presence supports communities and ecosystems well beyond the lodge walls. This is more than conservation—it’s dynamic collaboration. On every visit, we’re so impressed by how productive Imvelo’s approach proves to be. They show us, time and again, that when people are deeply invested—in both the land and those who call it home—they can support significant and lasting change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/6307e3ae-89f4-45b5-9447-0cde7ce122b9/Imvelo+Safari+Lodges+-+The+Elephant+Express+-+Nqwele+and+Bomani+and+the+Elephant+they+didnt+see+%289+of+1%29.jpg Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Going Above and Beyond in Zimbabwe - Travel to Zimbabwe Explore our Footsteps of Giants Itinerary to experience the wildlife, community, and conservation first-hand on a specially designed Safari through Hwange National Park.

While peak seasons often get the spotlight, we’ve found that traveling outside them—the so-called "off-season"—can reveal something deeper, quieter, and, for some, more rewarding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/f7fbcda5-2731-4f66-8056-d41ca5ba6019/DSC_9476.jpg Blog - Five Reasons We Love Off-Season Travel - Here are five reasons to consider off-season travel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/0780eb32-0070-4ebd-8d6c-ad0137c0bdac/68+-+Imvelo+Safari+Lodges+-+Early+December+Elephant+express+-+thanks+Brendan+Ryan+%282%29.jpg Blog - Five Reasons We Love Off-Season Travel - 1 — A Different Kind of Beauty Landscapes shift with the seasons, and seeing a place at a less popular time can offer a unique view. In the Galápagos, cooler waters bring a surge of marine life. In Patagonia, the fall colors blaze and fewer hikers step foot on the trails. What might not look like the postcard version often turns out to be the moments guests remember most. In Zimbabwe, the December-May “green season” offers lush hues rarely seen in the more popular “dry season.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/6e3fe92a-5ab0-4812-8eca-e1bdba230d75/IMG_0903.jpg Blog - Five Reasons We Love Off-Season Travel - 2 — Fewer People, More Presence Off-season doesn’t mean deserted—but it does mean breathing room. It means quieter trails, easier conversations, and a destination at its most serene. There’s a kind of clarity that comes when you can savor the landscape, linger in the experience, and feel more connected to the place. In Patagonia, the “off-season” offers a little more space on their increasingly popular trails. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/b19bc9cf-854e-469a-881d-26bf602d1e74/Turkey-cooking-class-guest.jpg Blog - Five Reasons We Love Off-Season Travel - 3 — More Time to Connect During off-season months, there’s often more time for conversation—with our guides, with local hosts, with the people who live where we travel. The exchanges feel unhurried, more open. We’ve had some of our most moving moments in the quiet seasons, when there’s more time to ask questions, and to really listen to the answers. In Turkey, fewer crowds in the spring and fall mean more time to enjoy the warmth and energy of locals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/d33c06e0-6ad3-405a-914f-e9fb56a17865/Red_Howler_Monkey_Fauna_The_Most_Biodiverse_Place_On_Earth_Experiences_Anakonda_Amazon_Cruises.jpg Blog - Five Reasons We Love Off-Season Travel - 4 — A More Sustainable Footprint We believe travel should tread lightly. Traveling in the off-season spreads out visitor impact and eases pressure on fragile ecosystems and small communities. It’s a subtle difference, but an important one—especially in the places we care most about. In the Ecuadorian Amazon, lowering the impact of travel isn’t just preferable, it’s essential https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/1737153484755-TQ6J2TX0BE9I8ZD73OEL/Snorkel+with+Sea+Lions+on+Galapagos+Boat+Tour.jpg Blog - Five Reasons We Love Off-Season Travel - 5 — Unexpected Joy There’s a magic in letting go of perfect timing. It’s about embracing the surprises: the sudden burst of birdsong in a rainstorm, a chance sighting, a longer conversation over tea. Traveling in the off-season invites us to show up with more curiosity, more flexibility, and more openness to the unplanned. In the Galapagos “off-season” in the fall, sea lion pups make playful snorkel companions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/368f5a19-2713-49c0-a5a8-bef086eb0c7a/194+-+Imvelo+Safari+Lodges+-+Camelthorn+-+New+wet+season.jpg Blog - Five Reasons We Love Off-Season Travel Whether it's misty mornings in the Amazon, the “dry-season” of the Galápagos, or the lush “green season” in Zimbabwe, the so-called off-season often brings us closer to what matters. And over the years, it’s become our preference. When we stop chasing the "best time to go," we find that the best moments are waiting right there for us. https://www.inca1.com/blog/quiet-season-wild-encounters-why-guests-travel-in-the-galpagos-off-season monthly 0.5 2025-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/62fd44f3-eb1c-45cb-aeda-f6f176b63dcf/INCA-1980-Gps-12E5B-015.jpg Blog - Quiet Season, Wild Encounters: Why Travel to the Galápagos in Fall - Quiet Season, Wild Encounters: Galapagos in Fall October-November in the Galapagos Islands There’s no real “off-season” in the Galápagos—the islands are always alive. But in October and November, they shift into a rhythm we’ve come to love. The seas are cooler, the sea lion pups are exploring, and the marine life is bustling. Best of all, there are fewer travelers on the trails and in the water, making this a perfect time for quiet, immersive exploration. For many of our guests, visiting the Galapagos in fall deepens their connection, thanks to the slower pace and quieter moments. Especially when shared with a thoughtful, experienced guide and a small group of like-minded travelers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/2401ca04-65db-4c91-a2c0-0782afedc0d4/Sea+Turtle_Weston+Walker-Knoblich.jpg Blog - Quiet Season, Wild Encounters: Why Travel to the Galápagos in Fall - A Season of Marine Abundance October & November fall within Galapagos’ “cool and dry” season, with average temperatures in the high 60s to mid 70s and lower humidity. The cool Humboldt current, flowing north from the tip of South America, brings a surge of nutrients into the water, triggering a feeding frenzy among marine life. It’s not the season for crystal-clear water, but the tradeoff is rich: docile reef sharks cruise the shallows, penguins dart beneath the surface, sea lions spin and tumble through schools of fish. Wetsuits cut the chill and keep you comfortable swimming alongside green sea turtles and rays—or watching sea lion pups bark and play just feet away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/03a05bce-6fdc-41ca-a9bc-8e77ed61c71b/pinnacle-rock-galapagos-visitor-site-westonw.jpg Blog - Quiet Season, Wild Encounters: Why Travel to the Galápagos in Fall - More Room to Breathe October and November see fewer visitors across the Galápagos, and that makes a noticeable difference. Site visits feel more private. Wildlife is less disturbed. And the rhythm of each day feels a little less rushed. Our small group size of just 16 guests means we’re already traveling in a way that’s intimate and low-impact. But in this season, the advantages multiply. We have more moments alone at iconic sites, more time to linger, and more space for spontaneous discoveries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/4fadd62f-1da7-4c4a-88b1-b562fa36b8f6/2e87db12-0c96-4114-b032-e504e835dcd0.JPG Blog - Quiet Season, Wild Encounters: Why Travel to the Galápagos in Fall - Guiding That Goes Deeper The Galápagos always delivers on its promise of wildlife, but how that wildlife is seen, understood, and remembered depends on your guide. Ours have spent decades on the water and trails, but what really sets them apart is their care—for the place and for the people they travel with. They’re skilled naturalists, yes—but they’re also good company. Warm, curious, and attentive to both the big picture and the tiny details that bring it to life. With them, a snorkel becomes a story. A quiet moment becomes a memory. Thanks to all the time you’ll get to spend with them, from lectures and guiding on shore, to meal-time conversation, you’ll come home not only having experienced the Galapagos more deeply than most, but also with an enriched sense of care for the wildlife and the challenges it faces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/41e47ad5-f9c0-4d0b-9a4b-91bfec7b5b9d/230827i-GPS-Animal-Sealion-MR-DSC_0296.jpg Blog - Quiet Season, Wild Encounters: Why Travel to the Galápagos in Fall - Fall Wildlife Highlights •Green sea turtles begin mating and nesting (Oct–Nov) •Waved albatross chicks preparing to fledge on Española (Oct-Nov) •Sea lion pups at their most playful (Oct–Nov) •Blue-footed booby chicks still visible in some colonies (Oct) •Flightless cormorants continue nesting (Oct) •Marine iguanas gather and feed on algae (Oct–Nov) •Excellent snorkeling with reef sharks, rays, penguins, and large fish schools (Oct–Nov) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/aa016ad3-3947-4e7a-83dc-dca767136b9a/IMG_3035.jpg Blog - Quiet Season, Wild Encounters: Why Travel to the Galápagos in Fall - Why We Keep Returning October and November may be considered “off-season” by some, but for us, they are one of the most rewarding times to explore the islands. The energy is different. The encounters feel more intimate. The connection—between traveler, place, and wildlife—deepens. If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing the Galápagos in a quieter, more intimate way, fall is the perfect season. https://www.inca1.com/blog/conservation-highlight-making-conservation-personal-in-alaska monthly 0.5 2025-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/2183ba32-54ca-4a7f-9bf7-78fdbf7e7b98/Humback+Whale+Breaching+Alaska+Cruise.jpg Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Inspired in Alaska - How Our Partners in Alaska Inspire Us In Alaska, we found a wilderness both pristine and vibrant. With The Boat Company and their founders, the McIntosh family, we found a partnership based on a shared ethos of conservation and care. As two families dedicating ourselves to sharing our love for the places we visit since the 1970s and 1980s, we have watched the landscapes change with time and we know that the future is unpredictable. As we have grown and adapted, our partners continue to inspire us—deepening our investment in each other and the environments in our care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/8dd8969d-b92f-4c26-8362-cee8e17d68e8/Guiding+Guests+in+Alaska+Summer.jpg Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Inspired in Alaska - History & Conservation Found in the wilderness of southeastern Alaska, the Tongass National Forest is this earth’s last substantially intact, temperate rainforest. The McIntosh family saw the need to protect this natural wonder and, through founding the Boat Company, combined travel and conservation to keep the wilderness pristine. Throughout their history, they have continually advocated for the preservation of Southeast Alaska. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/7659c200-5e63-4e52-b1a4-91a3e0df9715/Hunter+McIntosh+of+the+Boat+Company.jpg Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Inspired in Alaska - Keeping it in the Family As a company with three generations actively working in the business, we know what it means to uphold a history.

However, we work with people who share our conviction that seeing the beauty and diversity of the world helps us protect it. To know something is to love it, and to love it requires care. The Boat Company prioritizes sustainable practices and education above all else—while providing one of the best adventures in all of Alaska. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/7843e7a3-7d86-43fb-b835-b18ce2b9a64c/Alaska+Inside+Passage.jpg Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Inspired in Alaska “We cruise the Tongass with the intent of introducing people, in an intimate way, to one of the world’s greatest places, in the hopes that they too would feel that the area was worth conserving for the generations to come.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54358a2de4b0d108c674157c/6debadf5-8874-4724-b253-22c683f402cb/Asset+4%40IB.png Blog - CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHT: Inspired in Alaska - The Wild North This yacht tour of southeastern Alaska brings you as close as you can get to the marine animals of the Northern Pacific coast. Humpback whales bubble-net feed and pods of orcas play in the waters of the wild north. A hike through the spruce forests of Sitka is the perfect way to breathe crisp Alaskan air, and a sea kayak is an ideal vessel to explore the many inlets and bays. A day in Alaska means fly fishing and spin casting in picturesque streams, trolling for salmon and jigging for halibut, glaciers calving in the distance, bald eagles soaring overhead, and the best sunsets in the world. At the end of the day, dinner is salmon sashimi from the day’s catch and Dungeness Crab fresh from the Ocean.
