After visiting a family property with organic products used daily in their kitchen, travelers will learn about these local ingredients, followed by a cooking class led by Bruno Ojeda and a subsequent tasting at lunch.
GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
For explorers, Silversea suggests spending the holidays in the Galápagos Islands, a pristine ecosystem brimming with a fascinating blend of science and fantasy. A place to discover the breathtaking wildlife that thrives both above and below the water, hike along the volcanic coastline, and immerse yourself in the environment that led Darwin to his groundbreaking discoveries. A few days away, nearly 1,000 kilometers from the mainland, a world away from reality.
One example is the cruise departing from San Cristóbal (Ecuador), an 11-day circumnavigation of the Galapagos Islands setting sail on December 18th on the Silver Origin, the first destination-specific ship built by Silversea, with a team of expert local guides, the highest crew-to-passenger ratio in the islands, 8 Zodiacs and continuous hybrid spaces that offer an extraordinary journey for extraordinary people with experiences such as a kayak excursion through a narrow, tranquil cove surrounded by wildlife, observing different species of seabirds, including blue-footed boobies, brown pelicans, Galapagos penguins and the unique flightless cormorant, a moment to discover the magnificence of the Galapagos with a good chance that sea lions will be your companions while paddling and submerging the waterproof camera.
