Galapagos & Machu Picchu Tours

Our Galapagos & Machu Picchu Tours take you to two of South America’s most iconic destinations.  In the Galapagos, you can explore the islands by cruise ship or with a hotel as your base.  Naturalist guides will introduce you to the fascinating endemic and native species including giant tortoises, iguanas, and blue-footed boobies, and explain the volcanic origins of the archipelago.  In Peru, you will learn about the colonial history of Lima, and discover the cultural heritage of the Incas in Cusco and the Sacred Valley. You will then travel by train for a guided tour of Machu Picchu, the awe-inspiring mountain top site.
