Galapagos And Machu Picchu Tour Is A Dream Holiday

By Linda Ruiz


A trip to South America is the stuff of bucket lists. The continent has a lot to offer in terms of wildlife, archaeological sites, mysterious cultures, adventure and fun. It is now possible to do a Galapagos and Machu Picchu tour to see two great attractions in one trip.

The Galapagos archipelago lies about 400 kilometers off the coast of Ecuador. Charles Darwin made the islands famous when he wrote about them in his theory of evolution. The animals and birds he saw there were so different from anything he had seen anywhere else they convinced him that his theory must be true.

The park has to enforce strict rules to protect the animals as sometimes they are so inquisitive they will approach visitors. There are lots of islands in the group so it is best to take a cruise on a boat so that you can take in everything on offer. Cruises usually last around a week and visit a range of islands with different things to see on each.

The best way to see them is on a boat cruise. They take in a range of islands and show you all the different species which you will not see anywhere else. Cruises normally last for about a week. Each day there are safaris on different islands and opportunities to swim and snorkel in the teeming seas.

For the Indiana Jones part of your trip you would head to the capital of the Inca Empire in Peru. High in the Andes is the city of Cusco. It is worth the trip just for this as the historic meets the modern in the most beguiling way. The city is full of cobbled streets, museums, ruins and traditional markets. It also has modern restaurants, a vibrant nightlife and a burgeoning gastronomic scene.

Just south of Ecuador is Peru, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire. Exploring the ruins and cultural exhibits from one of the most innovative Pre-Colombian civilizations is a trip of a lifetime. The best sites, including Machu Picchu are high in the Andes mountains, a place of stunning natural beauty.

Any tour has to take visitors to Cusco. This was the Inca capital and is now a charming historical city with modern amenities. From there, travelers take a unique train ride down the Sacred Valley to the mysterious citadel of Machu Picchu. It is situated in the high jungle and the climate is totally different from a few miles away in the city, it is humid and warm with palm trees and orchids.

Other attractions in the area include the Sacred is littered with archaeological sites. There are adventure tour companies offering rafting, climbing, hiking and paragliding. Cultural activities include museums, textiles, community visits and gastronomic tours.

Visiting two of the most impressive destinations in the world in one trip is an incredible opportunity. Using a good tour operator will save you tons of hassle. Their local knowledge will prove invaluable and make your experience truly special.
