Need advice from members who have taken this trip. I need to travel light because I am on tour. Confused if I should go with my crop camera or full frame. I always bring a small camera ( I have a zs100). I also would prefer not to keep on changing lens - but I still want to get great images of these beautiful sites.
This is what I own -1) Canon 80D with canon 10-22, canon 70-300, Tamron 16-300, Canon 15-85. 2)Canon 6DmII with Canon 16-35 f4L, Canon 24-105. I realize some would say bring both - but I would like to travel without a huge bag. I appreciate any advice from the members.

My husband and I did 2 weeks on the Galapagos Islands on a very small boat about 3 years ago. I shoot Nikon and took my D5200 (crop sensor with a 1.5 multiplier), a 55-300 kit lens, an 18-105, as well as a point and shoot and a bridge camera (Canon SX50-HS). We also borrowed our son’s Gopro for jnderwater shots when we snorkled. The 55-300 got LOTS of use on the trip. I always made sure I had 2 cameras with me when we went onto land. Make sure you have a wet bag for your cameras when you are on the pangas. Some of your landings will be wet, and some dry. Your guide should brief you prior to getting onto the pangas. The animals will be quite close. Our quide was excellent and briefed us on what we could expect on the next day right before dinner each night. I planned my equipment for the following day based on those briefings. I did NOT take either a tripod or a monopod and am glad I didn’t. I posted a question here prior to our trip and got lots of extremely helpful advice from members who nad actually been there.

We did not go to Machu Picchu, so I can’t help you out there.

Thanks for the advice.

You’re very welcome.
I’m surprised that more members haven’t chimed in with advice. Several have been there. My suggestion for more help is to use the search function at the top of this page. Use the “advanced” option. Type in “Galapagos” in the topic box, and “Main Photography” in the section drop down. You’ll find a wealth of info there.
Good luck.

Thanks, I was hoping some Canon people would have responded as well.
