The Best Place to Celebrate Valentine’s Day is Ecuador

Happy Valentine’s Day from Metropolitan Touring! On this very special day, Ecuador always comes to mind as being a very romantic destination. From the Andean highlands up in Quito (the capital), to the unique cloud forest of the Choco bio-regions all the way to the remote and inspiring Enchanted Islands, this special country offers you the opportunity to explore nature with your loved ones from the comfort of luxurious hospitality and top service.

Get away to the Enchanted Isles

The Galapagos archipelago’s remote location allows you to feel like you have the islands all to yourself. Tourism controls limit the number of people who can visit the islands and keep the environment in its pristine natural state. You may find more animals than other tourists if you visit the islands on an expedition cruise. There is no better place to get up close and personal with unique wildlife than the Galapagos! Hopping on an expedition cruise offers you the adventure of a lifetime, filled with excitement as well as romance!

The Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel, tucked away in a quiet corner of Santa Cruz Island, offers a perfect getaway for couples. Enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner by the pool with a view of the ocean that’s right by Playa de los Alemanes, or take a walk around the mangroves surrounding the hotel. Whatever your choice may be, know that the tranquility and magic of the Enchanted Isles will always be with you.

A Font of information, Klaus has spent decades in the field, leading tours in the Amazon, Andes and Galapagos Islands. He hung up his guiding boots a few years back and now creates itineraries for the tour operator, Metropolitan Touring.

Santa Cruz II is a replacement for the much-loved Santa Cruz, which plied the waters of the Galapagos for 36 years. It is not a new ship; it was built in 2002 and sailed as Mare Australis under the Australis cruise brand, operating expedition cruises around Cape Horn and to Antarctica. Metropolitan Touring bought the ship in 2015 and completely refurbished it, launching it as Santa Cruz II in October 2015.

When this modern, minimalist, glass-walled jungle lodge opened in 2012, it changed the accommodation game in South America.
