Group Trip 16 Days
* The inspirational wildlife of the Galapagos Islands * Machu Picchu and a chance to walk on the Inca Trail * Discover the Sacred Valley of the Incas and their
capital, Cuzco
igh in the Andes sits Machu Picchu, a precipitously perched Inca ruin that defies explanation and has to be seen to be believed. The history of this civilisation is fascinating and at its peak the Inca Empire extended from the rainforest of the Amazon Basin to the arid Peruvian coast and from Chile to Ecuador. Nestled across the Equator lie the remarkable Galapagos Islands. This volcanic archipelago was formed relatively recently and the tame animals have developed differently on each island, thus inspiring Darwin's theories on evolution. We explore the islands from a comfortable hotel with swimming pool and wonderful wildlife encounters are guaranteed!
