点评:Our winter break trip to Quito and the Galápagos was nothing short of extraordinary—one of those rare journeys that feels meaningful, joyful, and unforgettable all at once.
Quito welcomed us with its dramatic setting, rich history, and vibrant culture. Walking through the old city felt like stepping into a living museum—colonial architecture, breathtaking churches, incredible food, and a deep sense of place. The balance of history, art, and everyday life made it both inspiring and grounding, and it was a perfect way to begin the adventure together.
Then came the Galápagos, which exceeded even our highest expectations. Experiencing the islands with family and friends made it truly special. The wildlife was surreal—sea lions, marine iguanas, giant tortoises, and birds we’d only ever seen in books, all completely unbothered by our presence. Snorkeling alongside turtles and colorful fish felt like entering another world. Every day brought a new sense of wonder.
What made the trip exceptional wasn’t just the destinations, but the shared moments—laughing together on boat rides, exploring new landscapes, learning side by side, and slowing down enough to truly appreciate nature and one another. It was adventurous without being exhausting, educational without ever feeling forced, and deeply bonding.
This trip struck the perfect balance between culture, nature, relaxation, and awe. It gave us memories we’ll carry forever and stories we’ll be telling for years. Quito and the Galápagos during winter break turned out to be an absolute dream—and one of the best family-and-friends trips we’ve ever taken.

基多以其壮丽的景色、悠久的历史和充满活力的文化热情地迎接了我们。漫步在老城区,仿佛置身于一座活生生的博物馆——殖民时期的建筑、令人叹为观止的教堂、令人垂涎的美食,以及浓郁的地域特色。历史、艺术和日常生活的和谐交融,既令人心旷神怡,又让人感到脚踏实地,这无疑是开启我们共同冒险之旅的完美方式。
接下来是加拉帕戈斯群岛,它甚至超越了我们最高的预期。与家人和朋友一起探索这些岛屿,让这段旅程格外特别。野生动物令人叹为观止——海狮、海鬣蜥、巨龟,以及我们只在书本上见过的鸟类,它们对我们的存在毫不在意。与海龟和五彩斑斓的鱼群一起浮潜,仿佛进入了另一个世界。每一天都充满了新的惊喜。
这次旅行的特别之处不仅在于目的地,更在于我们共同经历的点点滴滴——乘船游览时欢声笑语,探索新的风景,并肩学习,放慢脚步,真正欣赏自然,也珍惜彼此。它既充满冒险,又不让人疲惫;既富有教育意义,又不让人感到刻意;更让我们彼此之间建立了深厚的感情。
