Galapagos with Machu Picchu

16-day adventure

Enhance your Galapagos adventure with a visit to Machu Picchu. Begin with an overnight in Lima, Peru, then fly to Cuzco for a walking tour of historic Cuzco, overnight in Urubamba Valley, and 3-day/2-night stay at Machu Picchu. You will have time to explore the less-visited corners, to contemplate the ruins at your own pace, visit the Inca Bridge, hike to the Sun Gate, or take optional hikes with our guide to Huayna Picchu and Machu Picchu Mountain. Then it's off to Ecuador for a 10-day Galápagos adventure to complete this nature and cultural experience!
