Traveling With Machu Picchu And Galapagos Tours

By Paulette Mason


When it comes to visiting Peru, it is a dream few can afford. For others, it is a trip of a lifetime. Whether into hiking or sailing, one of the combined country Machu Picchu and Galapagos tours can offer the most adventure for the buck. Further savings can be found by participating in group activities, tours and other events to cut costs.

Machu Picchu has always been one of the most interesting destinations in the country. Other areas of a tour often include Cusco, Lima and the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Whether desiring to take a self-guided tour or hike, or go with a group, there are plenty of options.

As these are two of the most scenic destinations on earth, it is often best to plan and reserve a tour well in advance. Deposits are often required of up to 50% to assure sincerity. It is important when this is the case to obtain and understand any and all information related to canceling a reservation should the need arise.

While hiking the volcano is an experience of a lifetime, sailing also has its benefits. Only aboard the Legend and in the Galapagos can explorers find animals, plants and other species found nowhere else on earth. A combined trip of land and sea allows individuals the best of both worlds.

The sailing vessel hosts a number of different types of food and drink while cruising. Those having sailed the Legend in the past say it is comparable to some of the finest restaurants on the planet. Others, still waiting on what some call this experience of a lifetime are still waiting to do so.

Most of these sailing vessels are quite small and carry up to one hundred guests. Unlike big cruise ships, guests often receive prompt service and attention. These vessels are also allowed options such as as the Legend's glass bottom as a form of entertainment.

The security system aboard the Legend and other touring vessels are often some of the safest in the world. Regardless, travelers may want to keep valuables locked and stored away when aboard the vessel. The same goes for when staying at a five star hotel or local bungalow, in order to protect oneself and valuables, stay alert and aware at all times.

Different lengths of stays and tours are often available at different times of years. Picking up brochures at a local travel agencies, viewing Peru related travel videos or reading a vacation guide can often provide a great deal of insight into this beautiful country. These brochures and videos can also help individuals decide which areas of the country are best suited to personal taste.

Whether sailing aboard a vessel, hiking the top of Machu Picchu or merely walking on a trail, Peru has a lot of to offer. Due to the steep hills and high altitude, those desiring to hike to the top need to be in the best physical shape possible. Otherwise, individuals attempting to do so can be at risk of altitude disease, exhaustion, freezing or over-heating.
