Find Machu Picchu Galapagos Packages For All Budgets

By Mayra Pierce


Now it is possible to fit two trips of a lifetime into one. There are a number of tour agencies offering exclusive Machu Picchu Galapagos packages. These deals include everything you will need to get the most out of the journey. Getting to two of South America's most remote regions used to be time consuming and difficult but not any more, it can now be done in style.

Travelling in the region can be lengthy due to the mountainous terrain but a good agent will be able to overcome the difficulties with their local contacts and knowledge. Internal flights are a great option as they cut out lots of travelling time. However some of the scenery in the Andes is spectacular so a few road trips can be a pleasure.

Hotels in both countries range from the basic to complete luxury. There are the usual international brands and also lots of unique boutique options. It is possible to stay in old haciendas, colonial properties and even Inka sites. For those who like to pamper themselves there are also some beautiful spa resorts.

Sailing around the Galapagos is a truly memorable experience and so it is worth taking the time to consider the various options. Most trips last seven or eight days and visit a range of different types of island. Some are older than others and so have different animals and plants.

Many of the animals and plants seen on a trip reflect this process. For example, the marine iguana which has evolved a system to filter salt from seawater. Other species of iguana do not have this because they live in areas with fresh water. Depending on the time of year it is possible to see an almost bewildering number of different birds, marine animals, land dwellers and plants.

Machu Picchu is so beautiful it is almost surreal. Whoever decided to build a citadel in that spot really knew what they were doing. Just as the high Andes start to descend to the jungle it is draped over a mountain with a view of everything. The ruins themselves are special, with incredible design and architecture but the location is truly stunning.

The most famous of these is Machu Picchu, declared a wonder of the world in the year 2000. It is a stunning place, draped over the mountains as they descend from snow capped peaks into the lush jungle. Getting there is just a matter of a train journey from Cusco, the old capital of the Inka empire. Most tours spend at least a day there as it is a tourist attraction in itself. Cusco has some five star hotels and top quality restaurants serving modern cuisine made from local ingredients.

Both Peru and Ecuador are countries which have only started to receive large numbers of tourists recently. They have a feeling of being unspoiled and largely unchanged and very different from the modern world. Having said that the tourist infrastructure is excellent with luxurious hotels and excellent transport.
