Machu Picchu & Galapagos - 8 days
< View Other Tours
Tour Overview
Begin in Cuzco and end in San Cristobal over eight days that take you from Andean history to Galápagos wildlife. You’ll explore Cuzco’s hilltop Inca sites – Sacsayhuaman, Qenko and Tambomachay – then drift through the Sacred Valley, browsing the Pisac market and discovering Ollantaytambo before riding the panoramic train to Machu Picchu. Fly on to Guayaquil for a taste of the city, then head to Santa Cruz’s highlands – think Twin Craters, lava tunnels and roaming giant tortoises. Expect a day trip to an uninhabited island for hiking and snorkelling, plus Isla Lobos for blue footed boobies and playful sea lions.
