Machu Picchu’s astounding ruins on two separate days, overnighting at a hotel at the foot of the historic sanctuary of Machu Picchu near the beautiful Vilcanota River. Exploration of Cuzco – a UNESCO site and the continent’s oldest continuously inhabited city – follows, with a two-night stay that includes touring the impressive ruins of Sacsayhuamán. Travel to Quito, another UNESCO site boasting an Andean backdrop and abundant history, for two nights. Then fly to the Galapagos for four-nights; between day cruises on a privately chartered yacht to North Seymour and South Plaza islands, we lodge at a beautiful hotel on Santa Cruise Island. Accompanied by an expert Galapagos naturalist guide, learn about Darwin’s unique “living laboratory” up close while observing iconic giant Galapagos tortoises, iguanas, and other unique wild- and birdlife. Explore Santa Cruz’s lava tunnels, craters, and beach before returning to Quito for a final day of touring and relaxation. Discover the Amazon’s amazing flora, fauna, and villages on an exceptional four-day/four-night optional pre-tour extension.
