An excellent and varied tour to three of South America's most famous icons - Machu Picchu, the Amazon Rainforest and the Galapagos Islands

Watching Seals on the Beach in the Galapagos

Our comfortable lodge provides the ideal base for exploration of the Amazon Rainforest, a truly unique and extremely valuable ecosystem. Flying to Cuzco in the Peruvian highlands, we encounter a city replete with Inca architecture and colonial charm. The Sacred Valley of the Incas is our gateway to the extraordinary lost city of Machu Picchu. The tour concludes in the Galapagos archipelago, one of the world's leading ecological sites, and with our sleep-on-board small motor yacht we are permitted to access areas out of reach to larger boats.

Why travel to Peru with Exodus?

 

Few other boats travel to the more far flung islands of Isabela and Fernandina to visit their spectacular sites. If comparing this trip to those of competitors, please check if they visit these beautiful and pristine islands in the Galapagos.

The Rainbow Centre, Kiya Survivors

Kiya Survivors is a registered Peruvian charity providing safe and loving educational and rehabilitation centres for children with special needs. It is the first school dedicated to special-needs children in the Sacred Valley and now 40 children attend regularly. Since the centre opened, Kiya has provided support to over 200 children as well as providing help on many social issues to other members of the local communities in which it works. Kiya Survivors at the Rainbow Centre is available to visit on almost all our trips that pass through Cuzco.
