INCA TRAIL & GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
21 days at - including flights
Tripcode: TPP
Trek to South America's finest lost city, Machu Picchu, and cruise around the Galapagos Islands
Cuzco and the Sacred Valley were the heartland of the Inca Empire, where some of the greatest architectural achievements of the Incas are still preserved in a physical environment of great beauty and charm. Further down the Urubamba River is the famous Inca Trail that allows us to arrive on foot at Machu Picchu via some stunning scenery and extensive ruins. The Galapagos Archipelago is one of the world's prime ecological sites. Avoiding the large cruise ships, we offer what is unquestionably the best way to see the islands and their wildlife: a sleep-on-board cruise on a small motor yacht, which has minimum environmental impact and allows access to areas that large boats cannot reach.
