An excellent and varied tour to three of South America's most famous icons - Machu Picchu, the Amazon Rainforest and the Galapagos Islands
The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most unique and treasured ecosystems in the world and our comfortable lodge provides an excellent base for its exploration. We fly to Cuzco in the highlands of Peru, a city bejewelled with Inca architecture and Spanish colonial charm. Following the river down from the Sacred Valley of the Incas leads us to the incomparable lost city of Machu Picchu. Finally, the Galapagos Archipelago is undoubtedly one of the world's leading ecological sites and our sleep-on-board small motor yacht allows access to areas that larger boats cannot reach.

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 of our trips that pass through Cuzco.
