Experience Machu Picchu And Galapagos Combined Tours

By Olivia Cross


Making the decision on where to spend one's vacation can be a rather complex process if searching for something exciting and unique. The world is filled with thousands of exotic locations, each offering a different adventure. For an exciting experience, one may consider visiting two great spots in one trip by booking packages such as Machu Picchu and Galapagos combined tours.

Through travel agents specializing in South American destinations, one may book a customized or standard package that rolls two incredible locations into one getaway. Some of the things that might be included in the price are travel accommodations around the area via boats, trains, planes or automobiles, as well as bookings at area hotels, inns or rental homes. The details can often be adjusted to fit an individual's preferences and budget.

A number of other amenities may also be included in the packages. These might include activities such as a special guided tour through the ruins and the island, dinner reservations, site seeing bus or train rides to view the magnificent features dotting the surrounding areas, shows and many more fun things. Again, individual preferences can be discussed with the agent to customize a grand vacation.

The ruins are the remains of an ancient Inca city of the traditional dry stone polished walls, set on a hilltop among the Peruvian Andean Mountains and are on the list of modern day world wonders. Up until 1911 this location was unknown to outside civilizations due to its remote location. Because of the interest and efforts of a few groups dedicate to preserving historical sites, the structures have remained mostly intact and in excellent condition.

Visitors may explore the ancient structures to experience a small taste of how the Inca once lived in the 15th century. The city is designed in such a way to optimize the efficiency of all three main classes of agricultural, urban and religious functions. Set at the top of the hill, the view of a sprawling valley below is simply breathtaking.

In contrast, the archipelago is made up of dozens of islets and 19 islands all straddling the equator and hosting various stages of evolution all at ones. There is no other place on all the Earth quite like this area with its conflicting climates and varied terrains and the most unusual collection of plant and animal life anywhere. Most people can not believe their eyes when seeing it for the first time.

The land masses are built nearly exclusively out of layers of rock formed by lava as the island group lies directly over the Nazca Plate, known as the most volcanically active area in the world. It offers many unique features such as lush foliage, incredible rock towers, cliffs, submerged craters and coral reefs off the shores and many hidden caves. Hundreds of bird species, penguins, sea turtles, dolphins, stingrays, whales, sea lions, giant tortoises and marine iguanas are just part of the menagerie of wildlife.

Each of these beautiful South American locations will give the traveler a vacation they are sure to recall for many years to follow. One may not only get a glimpse of how life was for one ancient civilization, but they will see a land of evolutionary wonder. This type of getaway is truly an opportunity to see the world as never before.
