14-Day Machu Picchu and The Galapagos Islands
Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Tour Package
This journey to Machu Picchu and the Galapagos links highland history with ocean wildlife. Begin in Quito with a guided exploration of its UNESCO Old Town, Teleférico panoramas, and a stand on the Equator at Intiñan—Trace Andean scenery to Cotopaxi’s Limpiopungo lagoon and high refuge before flying to the islands. In Santa Cruz, meet giant tortoises at El Chato and learn conservation at the Charles Darwin Station, then board day yachts to snorkel with sea turtles, reef sharks, and sea lions around North Seymour, Santa Fe, or Plazas. Hop to Isabela for Las Tintoreras and the lava tunnels of Los Túneles, watching penguins and blue-footed boobies between swims. Continue to Lima for a culinary immersion—pisco lesson, cooking class, and a tasting—plus a city tour. Fly to Cusco for the Cathedral, Qoricancha, and Inca stonework at Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay. Browse Pisac market, explore Ollantaytambo, and rest in the Sacred Valley before your sunrise rail journey to the citadel itself. With expert guides, curated hotels, and smart logistics, this Machu Picchu and Galapagos tour package balances comfort, discovery, and pace—delivering iconic sites and incredible wildlife within one thoughtfully crafted, carefully designed adventure.
