Itinerary

Is discovering two of South America's most legendary destinations on one seamless trip at the top of your travel wishlist? This 15-day tour package, starting in Cusco and concluding in Quito, is tailored for seasoned explorers eager to blend ancient history with extraordinary wildlife. Begin in the storied streets of Cusco, where pisco sours and sunset views set a relaxed yet invigorating tone. Board the train to Aguas Calientes and stand in awe at Machu Picchu, the enigmatic Inca citadel and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Then, shift gears as you fly to Ecuador for an immersive week among the Galapagos Islands, Darwin’s famed natural laboratory. Here, active sightseeing means getting close to giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, and playful sea lions, all under the guidance of knowledgeable local experts.

This easy-paced itinerary ensures comfort without sacrificing adventure, making it an excellent fit for experienced travelers who value both discovery and downtime. Accommodations, most meals, and all transportation are seamlessly arranged, allowing you to focus on the highlights—from colonial plazas and Andean peaks to volcanic landscapes and idyllic Pacific beaches. The standout feature of this tour is its rare combination: few packages offer the chance to experience Machu Picchu's mystical ruins alongside the Galapagos’ unparalleled biodiversity in a single journey. Expect a thoughtfully curated balance of guided exploration and opportunities to savor local culture at your own pace. For those seeking an unforgettable tour that blends two bucket-list icons with ease and expertise, this is the adventure of a lifetime.
