The mysterious stone ruins of Machu Picchu and the wildlife paradise of the Galápagos are two of Latin America’s most riveting attractions. This extraordinary journey combines in-depth visits to them both, with an overnight stay outside Machu Picchu that affords you the chance to visit the site twice; plus a Galápagos cruise that calls on some remarkable destinations.

We’ll also delve into the dramatic colonial history and vivid Indian traditions of the Andean world as we explore Lima and Cuzco, two of the oldest cities in the New World, as well as Peru’s rural Sacred Valley. A stirring train ride through the spectacular Urubamba Gorge, cruising in the wake of Darwin, swimming with the sea lions, and pondering the very origins of life are just a few of the possibilities that await you.
