Often when an individual thinks of going to the Andes, one goes to the Andes. When in reality, some of the best views of the Andes can be found from one of the many Machu Picchu and Galapagos tours can provide more scenic views. During which, the individual is also touring Machu Picchu and sailing around the Galapagos Islands.

A tour of Machu Picchu is a great way to experience the most interesting destinations of the country. Individuals can take a number of self-guided hiking and walking tours in, on and around the volcano. Whether touring solo or with a group, it is always good to carry a cell phone or other communication device in case of accident or injury.

As these are two of the most scenic destinations on earth, it is often best to plan and reserve a tour well in advance. Deposits are often required of up to 50% to assure sincerity. It is important when this is the case to obtain and understand any and all information related to canceling a reservation should the need arise.

While hiking the volcano is an experience of a lifetime, sailing also has its benefits. Only aboard the Legend and in the Galapagos can explorers find animals, plants and other species found nowhere else on earth. A combined trip of land and sea allows individuals the best of both worlds.

When it comes to food, there are different types of food for all tastes. The ship staff work to keep the food as fresh and tasty as possible while on the water. Still, in case there are unknown issues with other guests carrying a stomach flu or virus, it is often good to have some form of anti-diarrhea medicine on board.

For the business traveler, or those needing to attend to matters while away, there is exercise equipment, phone/fax/internet capability, medical assistance and the most advanced and updated security systems on the water.

There are also tours focused on individual travel though most are oriented toward small or medium size groups. Some individuals may find it more appropriate to hire a personal guide rather than join a group tour. Others find that joining a group can provide savings and still allow for a great deal of creativity and customization as pertains to personal interest.

Tours are generally offered in 3, 7 and 14 day formats depending on the service. It is often advised that travelers research any and all touring companies and read reviews before placing a deposit or paying in full.
