Overview & Highlights
This escorted group tour takes you to Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, and Lake Titicaca in Peru, before flying to the Galapagos Islands to swim with sea lions and cruise with expert guides.
Combine Peru and the Galapagos in the same holiday on this inspirational group tour of some of South America’s most breathtaking highlights. The welcoming smiles of the Peruvian people, combined with the country’s rich human culture, past and present, alongside the diverse and hauntingly beautiful landscapes make it an easy place to fall in love with. Explore the Inca temples of Machu Picchu, colonial Cusco, the splendour of Sacred Valley and Lake Titicaca’s vast expanse of shimmering waters.
The grand finale of this unforgettable trip is a cruise around the greatest wildlife show on earth, the Galápagos Islands. On a similar trip 200 years ago, Charles Darwin returned from the archipelago to write the seminal book ‘The Origin of the Species’. Step into his shoes and explore the aptly named Enchanted Islands.
One of the joys of holidays in the Galápagos Islands is that each island is unique, with varying landscapes from scorched lava to white-sand coves and forest-shrouded mountains, and each has its own array of wildlife. You can also make the most of the boat and your time at sea; relaxing on deck with a cocktail at sunset, snorkelling with angel fish or swimming with dolphins.
