Ecuador & Galapagos Teen Travel Program

Experience Ecuador and the Galápagos with Global Works - an immersive teen travel program where authentic cultural exchange, meaningful community service, and unforgettable adventure come together. Students begin in the Andean highlands, collaborating with welcoming communities in Cotacachi on projects that support local schools, cooperatives, and environmental stewardship. The journey continues to the iconic Galápagos Islands, a living classroom of biodiversity and a dream destination for student travel abroad. Teens snorkel with sea turtles, observe giant tortoises and marine iguanas, explore volcanic landscapes, and learn from local guides and conservation partners dedicated to protecting these fragile ecosystems. Led by experienced trip leaders, this teen summer program builds confidence, global awareness, and real connections. Participants return home inspired by meaningful travel, new friendships, and hands-on learning in one of the most extraordinary regions on Earth.
