Experience Machu Picchu And Galapagos Combined Tours

By Olivia Cross


Making the decision on where to spend one's vacation can be a rather complex process if searching for something exciting and unique. The world is filled with thousands of exotic locations, each offering a different adventure. For an exciting experience, one may consider visiting two great spots in one trip by booking packages such as Machu Picchu and Galapagos combined tours.

Qualified travel agencies are authorized to offer unique vacation packages that take two separate locations and unite them in one unforgettable getaway deal. These might be customized by including air fare to the destination, travel arrangements via boats, trains, buses or automobiles while there, as well as housing accommodations. The individual details can be adjusted according to one's budget restrictions and personal preferences.

A number of other amenities may also be included in the packages. These might include activities such as a special guided tour through the ruins and the island, dinner reservations, site seeing bus or train rides to view the magnificent features dotting the surrounding areas, shows and many more fun things. Again, individual preferences can be discussed with the agent to customize a grand 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.
