See The Best With A Galapagos And Machu Picchu Tour

By Linda Ruiz


South America is the stuff of dreams. If you want to feel like a real life Indiana Jones or Dr Doolittle this is the direction to head in. A Galapagos and Machu Picchu tour is the best way to enjoy two of the most important places in the world.

The Galapagos archipelago lies about 400 kilometers off the coast of Ecuador. Charles Darwin made the islands famous when he wrote about them in his theory of evolution. The animals and birds he saw there were so different from anything he had seen anywhere else they convinced him that his theory must be true.

Now it is possible to follow in his footsteps and take a tour of these unique islands. They are all very different and so in a few days of visits it is possible to see an incredible array of animals which cannot be seen anywhere else. Depending on the time of year it is possible to see lots of different nesting seabirds, sealions, penguins, hammerhead sharks, marine iguanas and the famous tortoises.

The area is now a national park and the authorities have put strict rules in place to protect the flora and fauna. Access is limited so it is far easier to take an organized tour than to try and travel there independently. There are a number of different styles and sizes of boat to choose from with the largest carrying about one hundred passengers. Most of the tours take in a range of islands so that passengers get to see the full variety of animals available so the main things to consider are price and comfort.

For the Indiana Jones part of your trip you would head to the capital of the Inca Empire in Peru. High in the Andes is the city of Cusco. It is worth the trip just for this as the historic meets the modern in the most beguiling way. The city is full of cobbled streets, museums, ruins and traditional markets. It also has modern restaurants, a vibrant nightlife and a burgeoning gastronomic scene.

The other half of the trip will take in majestic Peru. It has the deepest canyons, the highest sand dunes, the most diverse rainforest and a mind boggling number ruins left by many ancient civilizations. The most important of these is Machu Picchu.

The Inka people are admired for their skills in architecture. The site has a number of palaces, an observatory, incredible water systems and mind boggling carved stones. Archaeologists are still puzzling over how people with limited technologies managed to create these wonders. In Cusco there is a new museum which has artifacts recovered from the first excavations of the city.

Other attractions in the area include the Sacred is littered with archaeological sites. There are adventure tour companies offering rafting, climbing, hiking and paragliding. Cultural activities include museums, textiles, community visits and gastronomic tours.

A trip of this nature requires quite a lot of organization. Both places require special passes and have to enforce rules to preserve their current states. An organized tour always includes a guide who makes sure that travelers understand the rules and have everything they need. It is a hassle free way to see two of the most precious places in the world.
