For a traveler on a budget this is ideal. A week in the Ecuadoran highlands, exploring volcanoes, cloud forest and local communities followed by a week in The Galápagos.
Our land based island tour gave us freedom of movement within the itinerary, allowed for personal exploration, choices of restaurants and shopping opportunities. We met giant tortoises, some wandering freely, others in breeding centres. We walked to the top of the caldera of the Sierra Negra volcano on Isabella. There were snorkelling trips with colourful fishes and a walk round North Seymour Island where frigate birds were displaying and baby boobies were fledging. Yellow land iguanas, black sea iguanas and SallyLightfoot crabs were plentiful too.
Back on the main islands, sea lions were snoozing on the pavements by the harbour, pelicans and lava herons were catching tidbits from the local fishermen cleaning their catch.
It was wonderful!
We saw all the wildlife on the Galapagos list for October, except the flightless cormorant. If you are a specialist looking for differences between species on different islands, then cruising may be better. However for the non- biologists this trip ticked all the boxes. It was 😊 GREAT👍

Our family of three (including our 1 2 year old daughter) had a wonderful time with G Adventures during our trip to Peru. Our CEO, Gloria was very nice and organized. The other families in the tour were also very friendly and all the kids got along great. We saw a great many things in Peru- from night-time hikes in the rainforest to chocolate making in Cusco. Our day in Machu Pichu was very beautiful and it was a visit we were very much looking forward to. I felt the tour was very well organized and I was impressed with how well behaved all the kids were- especially on traveling days. Overall, this was our first family tour and definitely not our last- I don't think I could have organized a better tour by myself and really appreciated the luxury of having all bookings and reservations done for me. Thank you!
This should be on everyone?s ?bucket list?. Each person from G Adventures was extraordinarily committed to ensuring travelers were well-supported. I learned so much and enjoyed both the physical challenges and the luxurious meals and accommodations. I will choose G Adventures again and again in the future.

This travel operator provided us with a two-day trek to Machu Picchu that has to be experienced to be truly understood. Their crew of porters and cook provided exceptional service and meals. David's knowledge was outstanding and his attention to detail in regards to accommodation travel and gear storage was second to none. If you want a first class trekking experience this company should be your first choice.

I would definitely recommend this trip for those who are seeking adventure! Each day we say different cities and sites (Huacachina Desert, Nazca Lines, Arequipa, Puno/Lake Titicaca, Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain), which are totally the experiences. The only downsides of the trip were the overnight bus due to its discomfort of trying to rest as well as the bumpy roads whenever I had to use the toilet on the bus. Also, make sure to bring enough medical supplements with you and buy enough coca supplements (mints, candies, leaves, tea) to adjust to the altitude or any higher elevations! I did get some headaches and dizziness, but that's kinda normal and to be expected.
Discover this short trek and visit to the famed, epic Macchu Picchu. This tour is different from what other conventional Salkantay Trek tour operators offer; our style includes staying in proper tents in the wilderness—away from crowds—to ensure that you get a chance to savor experience the natural environment and have a genuine adventure to Machu Picchu.
Witness the great Salkantay Mountain, whose name means “untamed.” Embrace the majestic scenery as you make your way to the sacred city of Machu Picchu. Trek the picturesque routes that go from the highlands to the Amazon jungle, in the shadows of this impressive mountain.
