Incredible Machu Picchu And Galapagos Tours

By Lena Stephenson


Life is just full of choices when it comes to where to spend one's vacation time. There are always to tried and true traditional favorites like popular beaches, amusement parks and famous landmarks for those who want to stay within the proverbial box. Many people who are looking for something a little more unusual find that Machu Picchu and Galapagos tours seem to satisfy their need for a unique experience.

These types of South American excursions are structures in such a way to optimize the traveler's experience and provide incredible memories. Guides will lead the group through all of the high points at each of the sites, and time will be allotted for everyone to go one their own to delve into the local offerings. There is no shortage of things to do and ways to occupy one's days or evenings.

One benefit to this type of trip is the versatility of it all. Though located in the same general area, the locations could not be more different from one another. In actuality, it feels more like experiencing two separate vacations without all the extra hassle of taking extra time off and making additional travel arrangements.

Each destination is unique in its offerings of charm, appeal and charisma. Even though they are so very different, they do share an ability to provide the visitor with a feeling of leaving modern day and stepping back in time. One is a chance to see how a great ancient civilization organized their cities and went about daily life, while the other is a strange and unexpected melding of wildlife and ecosystems not normally found together.

High in the Andean mountains of Peru rests a fifteenth century structure in near perfectly preserved condition. Sparred from the effects of modern man and technology by its remote location, the site has been affectionately dubbed the "Lost City of the Incas". Restored, protected and controlled by multiple historical societies, the complex provides visitors with an example of how the mighty Inca Empire may have lived in the late 1400's.

Made up of several volcanoes, islets and 19 islands, the archipelago is unlike any other place on Earth, hosting animals and ecosystems that seem to be plucked from various points in time. Here, climates that are completely opposite exist together and wildlife that would normally never be found on the same landmass, thrive in perfect harmony. This is largely due to location and minimal exposure to modern man and his need to control and develop.

Guided journeys through each location will highlight all of the must see features of the sites and provide adequate information on their significance. Time is set aside to allow individuals the opportunity to relax, shop or partake of the various activities that are available. There is so much history and culture to experience, as well as such incredible beauty and unbelievable nature to see, that one may find themselves wanting to stay longer.

Dual destination trips such as these can easily double the fun of one's vacation experience. They are designed to get the maximum impact and most efficient use of planning so that the individual is free to relax and enjoy themselves. Without the stress of having to make multiple travel, lodging and accommodation arrangements, one can simply become immersed in the moment.
