Unique Explorations Are Part Of Machu Picchu And Galapagos Combined Tours

by Janine Hughes

Exploring Ecuador and Peru on the same itinerary prompts lots of questions. These disparate places require specific transportation and guides. How you visit will depend on how you hope to experience your destinations.

High quality <A href="http://www.idealsouthamerica.com">machu picchu and galapagos combined tours</A> offer many different options for exploring these two exotic locations. Your choice will depend on how long your vacation will be, your desired pricing, itinerary wishes. Many savvy travelers recommend going to Machu Picchu first because it is the more arduous of the two. The high Andes require that you become acclimated to very high altitudes which are often challenging to even the hardiest of sports travelers. The idea is to reach the hardest spot first, and then relax at the island destination last.

There are several ways to reach the Peru highlands. Most tourists arrive in Lima by plane. Once landed, they can be greeted by their tour guide and board the bus that will accompany them to their hotel and stay with them throughout their tour. Guides for this type of trip are well versed in the culture and history of the area, providing interesting lectures and discussion during travel times. Other travelers will choose to hike the Inca Trail or take a train to get to the highest points in the Andes. Remembering that Peru also has the fascinating Amazon, Lake Titicaca and Lima itself might help tourists to opt for additional side tours.

Arriving in Quito, Ecuador is a popular way to arrange a departure for the Galapagos Islands. This is the capitol city of this small country, and the gateway to many additional day trips. Depending upon the time available, you might consider visiting the Amazon rain forest, the snow topped Andes or some famous colonial cities. These can be exciting additions to visit, saving a cruise to the Galapagos for the last place of honor in your itinerary.

When Charles Darwin was inspired to author his theory of evolution, these islands became world famous. As historical treasures, they are cared for by National Park naturalists. These well educated guides lead groups of people each day to see the wonders there. But Tortoise Reserve entries are limited to a few hours daily. The scientists who serve as guides do not allow departures from public trails. These highlands in the Santa Cruz island are protected and preserved carefully for the future. The species of plants and animals are closely guarded for their health and well being. Thankfully, lodgings are located all around the reserve, so that the beauty of the area may be enjoyed by many.

Eco-camping and luxury tenting is possible for overnight visits within the island system. These must be scheduled in advance as availability can be limited. An excellent way to enjoy much of what this location has available is to book a cruise that travels around the islands, stopping at different spots along the tour. This is one of the more popular ways to visit there.

Combination tours of many kinds are available. Simply book your choice based on price, length and what you might enjoy doing and seeing.

Your tour guide will be an essential part of a combined trip if you do not speak Spanish. Guides into other regions may speak other native dialects, but they are generally very knowledgeable about their specific region. For the first time visitor, the combined tours are wonderful simply due to these well versed tour leaders, so going it alone is not the best advice.
