Discover the lasting impact of the Incan civilization during this exciting vacation. Your trip begins in Puerto Maldonado, the entry to Peru’s Amazon Jungle, where you spend three nights at your unique Amazon Jungle Lodge within the Ese’ Eja native Indian community. Enjoy boat trips to view turtles, caimans, monkeys, kingfishers, capped herons, and giant river otters—the largest and most endangered of the otter species. Then fly to Lima, the capital of Peru. Start with an introductory walking tour of this colonial city with visits to the cathedral and the San Francisco Monastery. Then drive to Ica, wine capital of Peru, for a flight over the mysterious Nazca Lines—geometric etchings left by ancient Peruvians. Cruise to Ballestas Islands, which are inhabited by a wide variety of sea mammals, before heading back to Lima. Fly to Cuzco, once the capital of the Inca Empire, and spend the day in the Sacred Valley. While there, visit the Temple of Sacsayhuaman. It remains unfathomable how and when this fortress of gigantic stones—with some blocks weighing more than 350 tons—was built. In Cuzco, you also enjoy a sightseeing tour with visits to the cathedral and the Santo Domingo Monastery. Stop in Pisac to visit a home, meet some of the locals, and experience the way of life in this old mountain village. Visit the Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo before traveling through Urubamba Valley by train on your way to legendary Machu Picchu, “The Lost City of the Incas.” Your tour with a Local Guide brings you closer to the lives and mysteries still hidden in these amazing structures. You also have free time to wander and tour the Machu Picchu ruins at your own pace. Next, travel to Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca. Enjoy a boat trip on this world-famous lake to see some of the more unique islands. Visit Taquile Island, one of the last areas of Peru to be conquered by Spain in the 16th century, and Uros Floating Islands, islands made of reed and home of the Uros Indians. Return to Lima via Juliaca, then fly to Quito, Ecuador, for a city tour before flying to the Galápagos Islands. Enjoy a 4-night Galápagos Islands cruise and visit Bartolomé, Santiago, Fernandina, North Seymour, Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, and Isabela Islands. Look for giant tortoises at a reserve, blue-footed boobies, sea turtles, sea lions, land iguanas, Darwin’s finches, and Sally Lightfoot crabs. After your cruise, fly to Guayaquil to conclude your exciting vacation to Peru and the Galápagos Islands.
