Natural and historic treasures await you on this 17-day cruise holiday in Peru and the Galápagos Islands. Begin your adventure in Lima, with a walking tour that visits the cathedral and San Francisco Monastery. Next, fly to Cuzco, once the capital of the Inca Empire. Continue into the Sacred Valley and visit the nearby Inca baths of Tambomachay, the ancient site of Puca Pucara, and the Temple of Sacsayhuaman. On to the mountain village of Pisac, then visit the Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo. A train ride ushers you through the Urubamba Valley before you arrive at the mystical Machu Picchu, “The Lost City of the Incas.” Return to Cuzco for a guided visit of its cathedral and Santo Domingo monastery, and dinner featuring Andean Folkloric Music. Next, fly to Quito, with an excursion to Cotopaxi National Park and a ride on the Chiva Express. From Quito, fly to Baltra Island and board the M/V Santa Cruz yacht for four days of cruising among various Galápagos Islands and a visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station. Return to Quito, where you will fly to Coca and travel by canoe to your Amazon lodge. Enjoy views of the rainforest canopy from the lodge's suspended canopy walk and continue through the jungle below on a naturalist-guided tour. Depart on a cruise of the Napo River, fish for piranhas, visit the Kapok Tree Tower, and watch the sun set on volcanic Mount Sumaco and the Andes. Return to Coca and fly to Quito for your return flight home.
