Machu Picchu & Galapagos Wonders featuring a 4-Night Cruise to the South Islands

What if one unforgettable trip could take you from the legendary ruins of Machu Picchu to the wild shores of the Galápagos Islands? This extraordinary journey does exactly that—combining the history and culture of Peru with an exclusive 4-night Galápagos cruise filled with incredible wildlife, beautiful beaches, and unforgettable adventures.

🏔️ From the Andes to the Lost City of the Incas

Explore the historic streets of Lima, taste authentic Peruvian cuisine, wander through the colorful Sacred Valley, and discover ancient Incan treasures in Ollantaytambo.

Then comes the moment many travelers dream of: Machu Picchu! Travel by train through breathtaking Andean scenery before arriving at the legendary “Lost City of the Incas,” dramatically surrounded by mountains and lush jungle.

And the adventure doesn’t stop there. Explore Cuzco, walk through its historic streets and markets, discover fascinating Incan sites, and experience the flavors and culture of this remarkable region.

🌎 Stand at the Middle of the World

In Quito, Ecuador, explore the city's fascinating colonial heritage, visit the Presidential Palace, and stand directly on the Equatorial Line at the Middle of the World.

🐢 Four Nights Where Wildlife Comes Alive

Then comes the highlight that makes this journey truly extraordinary—a 4-night cruise aboard the M/Y Coral II through the Galápagos Islands. Explore San Cristóbal, Española, Floreana, and Santa Cruz, with opportunities to hike, snorkel, swim, and encounter wildlife in its natural environment. Picture walking along beaches where sea lions gather, watching blue-footed boobies dive into the water, spotting marine iguanas and giant tortoises, searching for flamingos and Galápagos penguins, and snorkeling among sea turtles, colorful fish, and other incredible marine life. This isn't simply a sightseeing vacation. It is Machu Picchu. It is the Andes. It is Quito. It is a private yacht experience in the Galápagos. And it is an incredible collection of experiences packed into one remarkable adventure.
