Experience Machu Picchu And Galapagos Combined Tours

By Olivia Cross


One of the most difficult parts of planning a great vacation is trying to decide which destination to choose. Throughout the world, there are quite literally thousands of options from which one may pick. Many have found that by opting for packages such as the Machu Picchu and Galapagos combined tours, they can optimize their time by seeing two wonderful locations to visit in a single excursion.

Travel agents have several packages available that feature these two magnificent locations rolled into one glorious getaway. They may include travel accommodations via plane, train, boat or automobile as well as reservations at one of the great hotels, inns or houses in these areas. Depending on one's budget and preferences, nearly all arrangements can be handled in advance.

There are several other amenities that one may also choose to include. As an example, a guided tour through the ruins or around the islands might be added, reservations at dining establishments, special shows, fun activities and even bus, train or helicopter rides to sight see the surrounding areas as well. An individual may discuss their preferences with their agent to customize the perfect vacation.

The ruins, set high upon the Andean Mountains of Peru, are listed as one of the wonders of the world, being an ancient Inca city made in the traditional style with walls of polished, dry stones. It had been virtually untouched by modern man until the early 1900's. Thanks to the protection of multiple historical preservation groups, it has remained in near perfect condition.

While exploring the structures of the site, visitors are virtually transported back to the 15th century. The city is basically divided into three sections used respectively for religious, urban and agricultural purposes for the most efficient use of natural resources. Standing at the temple at the hill's apex, the viewer may behold the breathtaking beauty of the valley sprawling below.

While the ruins are calm and peaceful, the archipelago of 19 islands and several dozen islets sits over the equator and is home to a unique evolutionary experience. No other place on the planet has the same odd combination of conflicting climates, terrains, plants and animal life. Many who are looking upon it for the first time find it hard to believe what they are seeing.

As it is set directly above the Nazca Plate, the most active volcanic region in the world, the land masses are composed almost entirely of hardened lava rock. Guests may explore caves, coral reefs, submerged craters, cliffs and impressive rock towers all dotted with surprisingly lush foliage. The diverse collection of animals include marine iguanas, giant tortoises, sea lions, whales, stingrays, dolphins, sea turtles, penguins and hundreds of bird species.

These two incredible South American destinations are sure to provide a vacation experience unlike any other. The traveler is invited to take a look into the living conditions of an ancient civilization and to view a spot where evolution has gone wild. It is a great opportunity to truly take a break from the routines of daily life and to immerse oneself into a double feature of wonder and adventure.
