About Program
The Nature Expeditions & Conservation Service in Galapagos (8-12 Days) by Fundacion ECOS are immersive educational experiences for high school and university students, integrating citizen science, conservation, cultural exchange, and experiential learning in one of the planet’s most iconic ecosystems. Tailored to each group’s profile, our programs align your academic curricula with real-world contexts through field activities led by local experts, immersing each participant in the majestic natural history of this World Heritage site. During your time with us in the field, you will experience life as an ecologist, explorer, and ambassador. Get ready to be amazed! We are an Ecuadorian foundation based in the Galápagos, whose mission is to educate and form responsible individuals committed to caring for the world we inhabit, working toward the common good. In the end, we hope this is more than just a trip - that your experience is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
