Planning a Trip to the Galapagos? 6 Helpful Travel Tips
[:en]Each destination around the world comes with its own set of issues. Seasoned travelers understand that travel planning is an essential part of the process—in other words, you don’t simply pick a destination and go. It’s important to understand language, customs, transportation, health care, and more. While looking at the ins and outs of travel, it can feel overwhelming, but in reality, people deal with those same issues every day in their own community. The only difference is that the issues in your community are familiar. Travel is an amazing way to grow, change and experience the world, and by understanding your destinations, you can create the trip of a lifetime.[:es]Cada destino alrededor del mundo viene con su propio conjunto de problemas.

La única diferencia es que los problemas en su comunidad son familiares. Viajar es una forma increíble de crecer, cambiar y experimentar el mundo, y al comprender sus destinos, puede crear el viaje de su vida. [:]
Galapagos Cruises vs. Caribbean Cruises
[:en]Planning a vacation is an exciting endeavor. Everyone travels differently, and depending on where you are in life, the type of vacation you choose is essential to having a great time. Cruises have long been a favorite for all types of people—but especially for those who want a “traveling hotel.” Cruises also work well for people who want a more planned itinerary with options of things to do as well as meals.[:es]Planificar las vacaciones es una tarea emocionante. Cada persona viaja de manera diferente y, dependiendo de dónde se encuentre en la vida, el tipo de vacaciones que elija es esencial para pasar un buen rato. Los cruceros han sido por mucho tiempo un favorito para todo tipo de personas, pero especialmente para aquellos que quieren un “hotel que viaja”. Los cruceros también funcionan bien para las personas que quieren un itinerario más planificado con opciones de cosas que hacer y de comidas. Según un estudio realizado por la Cruise Lines International Association en 2015, el Caribe resultó ser el destino principal en el mundo.

An Adventure Seeker’s Guide to Touring the Galapagos
[:en]What do you think about when someone brings up the Galapagos Islands? Do you think about Darwin, science, research and a unique location that’s home to strange and mysterious animals? Probably so—and that’s because although most people know touring the Galapagos Islands provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience, they probably don’t associate that experience with adventure. Adventure is often connected with travel experiences like diving the Great Barrier Reef, or trekking the Himalayas. However, according to one of Merriam-Webster’s definitions, adventure is simply “an exciting and remarkable experience,” which is something the Galapagos Islands easily provides its visitors and more.[:es]¿Qué piensas cuando alguien saca el tema de las Islas Galápagos? ¿Piensas en Darwin, en la ciencia y la investigación, y en un lugar único donde viven animales extraños y misteriosos? Aunque la mayoría de la gente sabe que viajar a las Islas Galápagos es una experiencia única en la vida, probablemente no asocian esa experiencia con la aventura. La aventura a menudo está conectada con experiencias de viaje como el buceo en la Gran Barrera de Coral o hacer trekking en el Himalaya. Sin embargo, según una de las definiciones del Diccionario de María Moliner, la aventura es simplemente un "suceso extraordinario que le ocurre a alguien", lo cual es algo que las Islas Galápagos fácilmente ofrecen a sus visitantes y más.[:]
