Amazon Rainforest & Galapagos Islands with Michigan Public

January 17 - 27, 2027

You're invited!

Join friends of Michigan Public on an unforgettable journey to the Amazon Rainforest and the legendary Galápagos Islands. In the Amazon, venture deep into one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth, where dense emerald canopies shelter vibrant birdlife, playful monkeys, and elusive wildlife. Glide along winding riverways and experience the sights and sounds of the jungle, from dawn choruses to the symphony of nocturnal life.

While based on the island of Santa Cruz, we’ll spend our days exploring nearby islands such as North Seymour, Santa Fe, and the Plaza Islands. Visit the Charles Darwin Research Station and encounter remarkable species found nowhere else on Earth. Certified naturalists will deepen your understanding of the region’s extraordinary wildlife and fragile ecosystems.

Join friends and fellow public radio enthusiasts to commune with iguanas and snorkel with sea lions on this extraordinary adventure with Michigan Public!
