Discover two of the world’s most iconic destinations – the magnificent Inca citadel of Machu Picchu high in the Peruvian Andes, and the cradle of Darwin’s theory of evolution, the Galapagos Islands, teeming with unusual wildlife on land, in the water and in the air. You’ll also visit Peru’s lovely Sacred Valley for an opportunity to interact with indigenous peoples for an in-depth understanding of Andean culture and life. In Ecuador you’ll tour two very different areas of the mainland, the bustling port city of Guayaquil and the colorful lively market and town of Otavalo, surrounding by snowcapped volcanoes and beautiful pastoral scenery.
