Yampu’s Galapagos, Quito, Lima, and Cuzco with Overnight in Machu Picchu Tour will give you an overview of the wonders Ecuador and Peru have to offer. Spend 5 days in the Galapagos, the archipelago’s name deriving from galápago [meaning “saddle”] after the shells of saddleback Galapagos tortoises, 3 days in Quito, 4 days in Machu Picchu and Cuzco (near Peru’s Sacred Valley), and 2 days in Lima.

This Yampu luxury tour includes two of South America’s most important sanctuaries: the Galapagos Islands and the Machu Picchu ruins. You will tour the Galapagos on the Galapagos Explorer II, where all cabins are suites. In Peru, you may stay at our 5-star hotels or the Deluxe Orient Express hotels in Lima, Cuzco and Machu Picchu and in Quito at the Plaza Grande Hotel.

This trip combines the Galapagos Islands with Quito, Lima, Cuzco and Machu Picchu. A stay at the Red Mangrove Inn is perfect for those who want to visit the Galapagos but prefer to stay at a hotel. Enjoy a guided tour of the Charles Darwin Research Station as well as 3 guided day tours, ocean front access, and use of the private dock. After the flight to Peru, we take a tour of Lima and Cuzco, and then take a train ride through the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu.

The impressive wildlife sanctuary of the Galapagos Islands is a perfect complement to the spiritual energy of the Incas in Machu Picchu, their famous mountain-top citadel. Yampu travelers will cruise the Galapagos on a small boat and reach Machu Picchu by foot on the infamous Inca Trail. We will also visit Quito (Ecuador’s capital, which is surrounded by eight volcanoes), Lima, and the fabulous city of Cuzco.
