About GalapagosIslands.net and Columbus Travel Ltd.
Columbus Travel, one of Ecuador’s most prominent tourism companies, began as a simple dream — a visionary idea to share this small country’s beauty and the charm of its people with the rest of the world.
In 1994, Columbus Travel was established with the vision of redefining travel experiences in Ecuador, including the enchanting Galapagos Islands and the rich cultural heritage of Peru. Our inception was driven by the necessity to provide high-quality services and ensure safety for Norwegian students venturing into these regions. Today, we are the go-to provider of unique travel services for explorers worldwide.

Pablo Rea
Sales Supervisor
I have been traveling in Ecuador since I was a child, but I discovered that it was what I wanted to do for a living after a trip showed me that traveling is what I really love. When I graduated from high school, I planned to go abroad to discover the world. While traveling, I understood that my passion would be found in showing other people the wonders of my own country.
Ecuador has breathtaking landscapes but the one which caught my heart is a lovely old Hacienda which has been completely restored. It holds a lot of Ecuadorian history and keeps the magic of old times. Hacienda Zuleta is like the oasis in the middle of the desert, a charming, small, luxury hacienda where you will feel and discover all the wonders that Ecuador has to offer.
