HARVARD ALUMNI ASSOCIATION 2016 WORLDWIDE TRAVEL PROGRAM 2016 NEW YEAR S GALÁPAGOS ABOARD ORIGIN With ZARIN MACHANDA, College Fellow in Human Evolutionary Biology December 29, 2016 January 9, 2017

Harvard Study Leader ZARIN MACHANDA Zarin Machanda received her PhD from the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. Her research revolves around understanding the factors that shape the quality and development of social relationships among primates and specifically chimpanzees. Zarin has spent the last 14 years working with both captive and wild chimpanzees. She has spent almost three years living and conducting research in western Uganda. Zarin has traveled with the HAA over the past five years, receiving rave traveler reviews! Zarin led many trips to the destinations such as Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Borneo, along the Amazon River, Botswana and Zimbabwe. WHAT TO EXPECT This program has been exclusively designed for Harvard alumni, family, and friends to explore the Galápagos Islands and learn about the island s natural history. This is a moderately active program. In the Galápagos, walks are approximately one to two miles long (sometimes over uneven and rocky terrain) at a leisurely pace suitable for wildlife observation. There will be wet landings on many islands. Dinghy rides along the coast and shorter walks are available for participants as an alternative to longer and more challenging walks. There are opportunities for swimming, snorkeling and sea kayaking Frigate bird (snorkeling equipment, wet suits, and kayaks are available aboard Origin at no charge). The Galápagos Islands are at sea level and temperatures range between the 70s and 90s F on the islands. Travel is by regular scheduled commercial airlines, motor coach, air-conditioned ship, and inflatable Zodiac-style dinghies. The Post-Trip Machu Picchu optional extension is a moderately active program. Throughout Andean cities, temperatures range from 30 40 F at night to 60 75 F Bachas Beach Black Turtle Cove Galapagos Islands during the day, and we ll spend several days at elevations from 7,600 to 11,200 feet. The Machu Picchu extension has been designed to allow for an easier acclimatization when we travel to the Andean highlands by overnighting in the Urubamba Valley at approximately 8,000 feet. We continue to Machu Picchu at 7,600 feet, leaving Cusco for the end when you have had a chance to get acclimatized. There is significant stair and step climbing at the ruins. Lima, the capital city of Peru, is at sea level. FOR FOR DETAILED DETAILED ITINERARIES, ITINERARIES VISIT VISIT ALUMNI.HARVARD.EDU/TRAVEL ALUMNI.HARVARD.EDU/HAA/TRAVEL

NEW YEAR S GALÁPAGOS ABOARD ORIGIN DECEMBER 29, 2016 JANUARY 9, 2017 TRIP OVERVIEW Sea Lion Ring in the New Year on a comprehensive and exclusive seven-night itinerary to the most spectacular outer islands of the Galápagos aboard the new 20 passenger premium-class yacht, the 142-foot Origin. Your journey begins in the capital city of Quito, Ecuador where we will discover the country s rich pre-colombian and colonial heritage. Savor the palpable culture and history of the Andean Highlands with breathtaking snow-capped mountains, sweeping plains, and small artisan villages. Fly from Quito to the Galápagos Islands. Enjoy two daily guided shore excursions, led by an expert naturalist guide (one guide for ten passengers) and allowing plenty of time for photography, questions and contemplation of birds, reptiles, plants, and volcanic formations. Venture out in a kayak or meander along stretches of secluded beaches, swim with playful sea lions, or snorkel among penguins and sea turtles. Get up close to the shore life on Zodiac rides through mangroves and along the cliffs. Watch out for dolphins riding the bow wave, whale sightings, rays, frigates, and boobies diving for fish. Optional Post-Trip Extension: MACHU PICCHU JANUARY 9-15, 2017 Discover the breathtaking Lost City of the Inca, Machu Picchu. Fly from Lima to Cusco, the capital city of the Inca Empire. From Cusco, transfer to the lovely town of Yucay in Urubamba Valley. Visit the Pisac market plus the weaving and the llama, alpaca and vicuña center of Awanacancha. Along the way, explore the massive fortress of Sacsayhuamán among other Incan sites. Overnight in Yucay, which is located at a lower elevation, to allow for an easier acclimatization. The next day, take a dramatic train ride through the Urubamba Valley to the enchanting and mystical site of Machu Picchu. Stay overnight at the Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo hotel. On the return, spend two nights in Cusco and absorb a colorful mix of past and present. This seven-day post-tour extension includes deluxe and first-class accommodations; all excursions; entrance fees; train ticket; six breakfasts, four lunches, and two dinners; air transportation from Lima to Cusco and back; airport taxes; Machu Picchu airport-to-hotel transfers; and the services of a Peruvian guide. Airfare from Guayaquil to Lima is not included. Additional information and itinerary will be sent to confirmed travelers.

SCHEDULE BY DAY Quito Cathedral Dome B=Breakfast, L=Lunch, D=Dinner THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29 U.S. / Quito Depart the U.S. on a flight to Quito, Ecuador, arguably the most beautiful city in South America. Quito is nestled in a high Andean valley 9,350 feet above sea level and just 14 miles south of the equator. The cobblestone streets of colonial Quito with its whitewashed walls, heavy wooden doors, and gold gilded church interiors echo with history. Due to the city s preservation of its blended past, Quito was declared the first Cultural World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978. Hilton Colon Quito (meals aloft) FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30 Quito Enjoy a city tour of the wonderfully preserved colonial section of Quito, including the graceful plazas and arcades, the Cathedral s unique gargoyles, and the impressive gilded interior of the stunning baroque Jesuit church of La Compañía. Tour the Museo Casa del Alabado with a collection of pieces that date back 4,000 years. Enjoy the remainder of the afternoon at your own leisure. Hilton Colon Quito (B, L) SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31 Quito / Otavalo From Quito, drive north through dramatic mountain scenery and spectacular views towards the town of Otavalo in the northern Sierra. Spend the morning at South America s most famous indigenous market, Otavalo, a market which dates back to pre-inca times offering colorful handicrafts. Meander through the open-air market s narrow cobblestone streets alongside Otavalo Indian men with long braided hair, blue ponchos, and white trousers, and women with the distinctive gold beads around their neck and dark headdress. Lunch is at the 18th century Hacienda La Compañía and its surrounding rose plantation. Spend this special evening together with a New Year s dinner and midnight countdown. Hilton Colon Quito (B, L, D) SUNDAY, JANUARY 1 Quito / San Cristobal Fly to San Cristobal, in the Galápagos where Charles Darwin first set foot in September of 1835. Twelve large islands and many smaller ones, all volcanic in origin, combine to form an ecological niche renowned for its unique and fearless wildlife. Upon arrival, board the new luxury yacht Origin, your floating home for the next eight days. After lunch travel by bus to the highlands to see giant land tortoises in their natural habitat. A hike along the trails here is an excellent way to do some bird-watching and wildlifeviewing. This evening join fellow HAA yacht mates for the Captain s welcome cocktail party and dinner as we set sail for Genovesa Island. MONDAY, JANUARY 2 Genovesa (Tower) Island Arrive at the incredible bird island of Genovesa. The morning starts with a Zodiac ride along the cliffs. Disembark for a steep climb up Prince Philip s steps, named after the Duke of Edinburgh s visit in 1964. Once at the top of the stairs, the land is flat, allowing for a stimulating walk of about a mile to the other side of this small island. Observe large colonies of masked boobies, frigate birds, and Storm Petrels. Those not wishing to disembark can enjoy a dinghy ride along the cliffs (depending on weather conditions). Land at the beach for an easy stroll to observe hundreds of birds, including frigate birds, red-footed and Nazca boobies. Enjoy swimming and snorkeling at this beautiful natural harbor. TUESDAY, JANUARY 3 Las Bachas and Cerro Dragón This morning visit a white sand beach on Santa Cruz Island ideal for swimming. Locals named it Las Bachas, a pronunciation of barges, for the U.S. military ships that were beached and abandoned here after WWII. Today, the island is an important nesting ground for the east Pacific green sea turtle, while its brackish lagoons are the feeding grounds for various wading birds, including flamingos. In the afternoon sail to Cerro Dragón, home to the colorful and impressive Galápagos land iguana. Our visit includes a salt-water lagoon, where you may catch a glimpse of the elusive flamingo. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4 Fernandina Island and Isabela Island This morning visit one of the youngest and most volcanically active islands in the archipelago. Fernandina Island has only indigenous mammals and, consequently, is one of the only places to see the flightless cormorant. The island is also known for the highest population of marine iguanas. In the afternoon, sail through to the Bolívar Channel past the upwelling of the Cromwell Current, where dolphins and whales are frequently seen. THURSDAY, JANUARY 5 Elizabeth Bay and Tagus Cove Regarded as an ideal marine site on Isabela Island, Elizabeth Bay contrasts mangroves with lava fields. This site boasts two volcanoes, Alcedo and Sierra Negra, considered one of the most active volcanos on the planet. The bay is home to the Galápagos Iguana, flightless cormorants, gulls, masked boobies and blue-footed boobies, and Galápagos penguins. Look out for spotted eagle rays, mangrove snappers, and golden rays in the clear waters and low ties. In the afternoon visit Tagus Cove, located across from Fernandina Island near the Bolívar Channel dividing the two islands. Here you may be able to swim with the penguins. An uphill hike takes you to the dramatic viewpoint at the rim of the beautifully symmetrical crater which so FOR DETAILED ITINERARIES, VISIT ALUMNI.HARVARD.EDU/HAA/TRAVEL ALUMNI.HARVARD.EDU/TRAVEL

FRIDAY, JANUARY 6 Port Egas and Rábida Island Visit the dark, red sand beach at Port Egas. This is a good area for spotting herons and for enjoying the sight of marine iguanas grazing upon algae beds at low tide. Walk along the shoreline to a colony of fur seals thriving right on the equator thanks to the cool Humboldt Current waters. Swim and snorkel in search of octopuses, sea horses, and starfish. Later disembark on Rábida Island, known for its rusted-colored beach and teal waters. A stroll along this beach allows for the observation of a large sea lion colony, marine iguanas, and Galápagos Finches. A salt-water lagoon provides occasional sights of flamingos. This small island is also a breeding ground for pelicans and provides opportunities for excellent snorkeling from the beach. SATURDAY, JANUARY 7 Santa Cruz (Charles Darwin Research Station) / Highlands The Charles Darwin Research Station in Puerto Ayora is staffed with international scientists conducting biological research and conservation projects. Here, view the giant tortoise pens within an impressive giant pricklypear cactus forest that is also home to many land birds. These are the headquarters of scientific investigation, conservation and the National Park administration. Then, stroll along the main street of Puerto Ayora before traveling to the highlands of Santa Cruz Island to view the giant tortoises roaming in their natural habitat. The lush vegetation on this island includes the scalesia forest and birds such as the vermilion flycatcher, tree finches, and the elusive woodpecker finch. Additionally, you may go underground to explore dormant lava tubes. SUNDAY, JANUARY 8 San Cristobal / Guayaquil The journey concludes this morning as we depart to the pier and airport for the flight to Guayaquil. Upon arrival, check into your hotel to rest and freshen up. Later, gather for a festive farewell dinner, and some passengers may transfer to the airport for flights back to the U.S. late this evening.
