 ATTA New Member Profile - Metropolitan Touring

Metropolitan Touring was founded in 1953 and is Ecuador’s leading Travel Corporation with its own ground and Galápagos cruise-expedition operation. Designed for upscale and demanding guests, Metropolitan Touring offers a fulfilling selection of exciting and innovative experiences in Ecuador’s megadiverse four natural regions: Pacific Coast, Andean highlands, Amazon Rainforest and Galápagos Islands.

Metropolitan Touring pioneered responsible tourism and expedition voyages to the Galápagos Islands. Our Galápagos expeditions on board the 90-guest MV SANTA CRUZ and yacht ISABELA II are geared toward all aspects of the Galápagos: discovery, adventure, environmental interpretation, acuatic activities, relaxation, superb service and much more. Our 21-room Finch Bay Eco Hotel Resort on Santa Cruz Island offers land and sea packages with our new Sea Finch Yacht designed to bring guests in close contact with the unique wildlife and wondrous nature of the Galápagos National Park and Galápagos Marine Reserve.

Metropolitan’s exclusive “Chiva Express” Rail & Road programs offer the unique experience of “riding the roof” along the Andean Highlands and down to the Pacific coast.

NEW EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTS!

We are proud to announce that Metropolitan Touring has just acquired a new luxury yacht with capacity for 40 guests, for its Galápagos Islands operation in 2008: YACHT LA PINTA.

Also, the company has acquired a fabulous house in the heart of downtown Quito in San Francisco Square, which will be redone as a boutique-hotel and will be ready for 2009.

Any additional information needed from us, please let us know.
