Follow in the footsteps of the ancients as you explore the magnificent ruins of the “Lost City of the Incas” … swim in an unspoiled cove, a rollicking sea lion your playmate … peer into the limpid eyes of a giant sea turtle. Two of Latin America's most important cultural and natural marvels await your discovery on this singular adventure: the legendary ruins of Machu Picchu and Ecuador's Galápagos Islands—a living laboratory of Darwin's landmark theory of evolution. From the city to the country, we discover the vibrant cultural legacies of Peru and Ecuador—and enjoy an overnight stay and plenty of time to explore Machu Picchu. And on our six-night adventure in the Galápagos, we’ll spend four nights aboard our exclusive charter and two nights at a secluded hideaway on Santa Cruz Island. Embark on one of the most comprehensive Galápagos exploration cruises there is and experience a journey as diverse as it is magnificent.
