Strike in Chile is OVER!

Over the last few days, travelers in Punta Arenas have been delayed by Chilean Strikers. Transportation workers blocked access to the airport and shut down commerce for about 3 days because of a hike in natural gas prices. Thankfully a deal was struck with the federal government and local leaders. This is the most disruptive event that Lost World has ever dealt with in Patagonia and we are very happy that it has been concluded quickly.

ECUADOR SITUATION UPDATE

We are very pleased to report that the situation in Ecuador is stable now and back to normal, all commercial and banking activities are taking place –only schools are closed for today. Airports are open and flights have resumed. It is a beautiful sunny morning.

Services in the Galapagos Islands and on the mainland will operate from today on without any problem, since security is guaranteed in all the country.

great deals on galapagos cruises

It just doesn't get any better than a seven night Galapagos Cruise, except when you buy one and get the companion fare at 50% on select cruises. On top of all that, your flight to the Galapagos and entrance fee are paid, making it an additional savings of over $500 a person!

Take a cruise on the first class M/Y Grace, 16 passenger, or M/V Evolution, 32 passenger, and experience the intimate attentions of your natural guide and crew. Stops on the islands will allow viewing of exotic birds and creatures. A blue footed Booby might cross your path while performing its bizzare mating dance or snorkel with sea lions as they play near the beaches. You will be amazed by the wonder of the Galapagos Islands.
