Special 7: Inspiring Incas & Great Galapagos

Cuzco / Machu Picchu/ Galapagos Islands (8 days / 7 nights)
From $1,359 €924 £743
Galapagos Islands - Ecuador

Inspiring Incas & Great Galapagos offers you the best of the Andes and the Galapagos Islands. Starting off in Cuzco, considered to be the most impressive pre-conquest city in the Americas, you will visit the pre-Hispanic and Colonial city which served as the capital of the Inca Empire, Machu Picchu- one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, as well as numerous other Inca archaeological sites. We strongly encourage you to spend extra days in these magical places and fully enjoy one of the world's best destinations. Once you’ve taken in the splendid Andean city of Cuzco, you will visit the Galapagos Islands, isolated nearly 1,000 Km. off the Ecuador coast. In the Galapagos, whether on land or sea, there is always a surprise of nature lurking around a corner. Giant tortoises grunt in distant highlands, prehistoric marine iguanas hiss and spit sprays of salt, pink flamingos adorn the shores of hidden lagoons, and flightless cormorants and tiny penguins dart amongst colorful schools of fish, while elegant tropical birds glide through deep blue skies. With such a varied and utterly unique flora and fauna it is difficult to do justice to the ‘Galapagos Experience’ with words alone. The only way to truly appreciate this ‘heaven on earth’ is to see it for yourself.

Itinerary and Prices

Day 1: Cuzco
You will be picked up at the airport and taken to your comfortable hotel where you are advised to rest for a while to acclimatize to the high altitude. In the early afternoon you will be taken on a Cuzco city tour and will visit Sacsayhuaman, a local archeological site. You will return in the early evening to relax and eat in one of the many restaurants where you can enjoy the local Andean cuisine and hospitality of the local people.
Day 2: Sacred Valley
After an early breakfast and early start you will be taken through the Sacred Valley of the Incas where life has remained almost unchanged for 500 years. You will visit the impressive ruin of Ollantaytambo and have the opportunity to visit a local artisan market in Pisac to enjoy the beautiful handicrafts on sale and observe the traditional dress worn by many, not just for tourists, but as part of their heritage of the local people. Before returning to your hotel in the late afternoon you will have the opportunity to eat typical Andean food in a local restaurant.
Day 3: Machu Picchu
After breakfast at the hotel you will take a train* to the hidden citadel of the Incas: Machu Picchu. You will have a guided tour of one of the most awe inspiring places in the world. As an option, you may stay overnight in this area (highly recommended) and visit the ruins early next day when the full magnificence of the site reveals itself in all its majesty. You can also relax at the nearby hot springs. Otherwise, you will return to your hotel in Cuzco in the late afternoon.

* Train journeys are not included in the package price.

Day 4: Cuzco / Quito
After breakfast we will transfer you to the airport for your flight out to Lima and then to Quito. You will be picked up at the airport and taken to your comfortable hotel in the tourist centre of Quito. In the evening you will receive a briefing for your Galapagos cruise.
Day 5: Quito/Galapagos Cruise
In the morning you will be taken to the airport for your flight to the Galapagos Islands. Upon arrival in the Galapagos you will be picked up at the airport to start your cruise.
Day 6/7: Galapagos Cruise
The Galapagos Islands offer some of the best wildlife viewing in the world, not only because the animals themselves are beautiful and interesting, but also because they are virtually fearless. Through a quirk of evolution, large predators failed to evolve here, with the result that all the islands' wild residents are endowed with a unique sense of security. This means that the famous blue-footed boobie will perform its awkwardly elegant two-stepped mating dance right under your nose, oblivious to your camera. Mockingbirds will hop onto your shoes. Adolescent sea lions will do figure eights to show off their swimming prowess as you snorkel among them. The local penguins (the only tropical species of penguin in the world) are, admittedly, a bit aloof, but even they aren't above using a snorkeler as a human shield as they attempt to sneak up on schools of tasty fish. In the Galapagos, you don't have to get downwind and peer through the bushes to get a glimpse at the wildlife. You do, however, have to be careful not to step on sleeping sea lions on the beach as you back up for a better photo, as responsible guides will remind you.
Day 8: Galapagos Cruise / Quito
After your cruise you will be transferred to the airport to take your flight home.
