HX Expeditions | Galápagos | City in the Sky – Episode 1

Join marine biologist Monty Halls in Quito, Ecuador — the gateway to the Galápagos Islands. In this first episode of The Enchanted Isles, he discovers why locals say, “all the world is here.” Most HX expeditions to the Galápagos begin in Quito, a kaleidoscope of cultures shaped by ancient Incan civilisation and centuries of history. Monty takes us through bustling markets, meets people keeping traditional practices alive, crosses the Equator line, and enjoys hot chocolate in the region where cacao was first cultivated.
