Our leader in Peru, Nilton, was excellent , as was Roberto, our leader in Ecuador My only regret, was an aspect of our visit to Machu Piccu, it was somewhat rigid, in that it was restricted to the lower levels of the monument. I, and several other members of the group would very much like to have climbed to the top level , in order to gain more of an overview of the site

Take a journey from the coastal plains and ancient cities of Peru to the waters of Galapagos on this 20-day adventure. Travel through Lima, Puno, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes to uncover historic architecture, Andean landscapes, Inca ruins, colourful markets and local culture. Tick off Machu Picchu – one of the Seven Wonders of the World – from your list and maybe even opt to take the One Day Inca Trail trek to experience the ancient citadel from two angles.

Then, head on a sailing voyage that takes in the very best of the Galapagos. Look for sea lions, iguanas, giant tortoises and exotic birds, go snorkelling with manta rays and turtles and tropical fish, and see what Charles Darwin saw when he arrived on the isles more than 180 years ago.
