You're invited!
Join me, your KNKX host, Bellamy Pailthorp, for an unforgettable expedition to Ecuador’s legendary Galápagos Islands and the Amazon Rainforest.
While based on the island of Santa Cruz, we’ll journey to nearby isles — North Seymour, Santa Fe, and Plaza — each offering its own unique wildlife encounters. We’ll visit the renowned Charles Darwin Research Station, where conservation comes to life, and experience species found nowhere else on Earth.
Guided by expert naturalists, we’ll explore the astonishing biodiversity of the Amazon Rainforest, gaining a deeper appreciation for its delicate ecosystems. Come walk among iguanas, snorkel alongside playful sea lions, and immerse yourself in two of the planet’s most extraordinary natural wonders.
I hope to see you in the Galápagos!
