Students and chaperones from Susquehannock High School traveled to Ecuador and The Galapagos Islands from June 23 to July 2. Students must have taken two years of Spanish to go on the trip.
The group toured Ecuador's historic capital of Quito, visited the equator and Cotopaxi, the largest active volcano in the world. They also spent time on Santa Cruz, Floreana and Bartolome islands in the Galapagos, where they saw sea lions, frigget birds, blue-footed boobies, iguanas, giant tortises, crabs and more.
Susquehannock student Matt Schriver offered the following travel tips:
*Bring cool-weather clothes for high-altitude destinations
*Be careful with your passport -- it can easily be lost or stolen
*Knowing some Spanish can be very helpful, especially for shopping and dining out.
