Benefits Of Machu Picchu And Galapagos Tours

By Young Lindsay


There are so many amazing vacation destinations from which to choose that it can be difficult to decide where to go. With selections like beautiful sun laden beaches, fluffy snow covered slopes, thousands of monuments and sites of historical significance, the ever popular amusement parks and more, picking just one may be mind wrenching. Signing up for Machu Picchu and Galapagos tours provides two locations that offer complimentary adventures.

Each of these locations is truly unique in their existence and have so much history and wonderment to offer. Vacations deals that include transportation, lodging and guided site seeing to both places within the same package are available through travel agencies. They are sure to leave each person with a sense of awe and amazement.

As incredible as both places are, they really could not be more different. One is filled with the history of mankind and the wonders of their engineering skills and societal planning. The other is like its own little world with a diverse array of wildlife, unique climate and so much natural beauty and hidden places to explore.

The first takes visitors back to the 15th century to see the remains of an ancient Inca city that was practically unseen until it was discovered by an explorer in 1911. The structure sits on an Andean hilltop in the Cusco Region in Peru and looks out over the majestic Urabamba Valley. A set of historical preservation societies care for and preserve its condition and history.

The people of the ancient Inca civilization had a unique knowledge of how to set up a city that works well with the land's natural flow, as is demonstrated at this site. The temple, as the most important part of their society, sits at the apex of the hill with the people residing on the slope just below. The fields take up the lowest regions, taking advantage of the terrain's slant and aqueducts to deliver water to the crops.

An Archipelago housing some of the world's most interesting creatures and equally fascinating weather conditions, is the second destination in this package. Sitting out in the Pacific Ocean, on the equator, near Ecuador, the group of nineteen islands and more than two dozen surrounding islets consist almost exclusively of volcanic rock. The combination of location based factors creates some truly fascinating results.

This place is home to some breathtaking sites such as the fabulous rock towers, secluded mangroves, lagoons inland, majestic cliffs, unbelievable lava flows, impressive volcanoes and coastlines that amaze. People enjoy seeking out the caves and old pirate hideouts, as well as scuba diving among the coral reefs while exploring the under water craters filled with marine life. Perhaps the islands are most famous for their unique menagerie which includes ancient giant tortoises, the only sea faring marine iguanas in the world, sea turtles, fur seals, whales, boobies and hundred of other unlikely species.

Opting for a vacation that includes two fantastically authentic locations as these is a sure way to create everlasting memories. Both are filled with historical significance, present beautiful vistas and have a charm and allure that is uniquely their own. The combination is a creative one, providing a range of stimulating attractions to make each day of the stay an adventure in itself.
