Galápagos & Inca Odyssey
Discover the best of Galápagos and the Lost Empire of the Incas
There is nothing quite like sailing through the Galápagos Islands, with the odd creatures that populate this isolated world filling every niche around you. And, when it comes to arranging the best Galápagos adventure with a focus on nature, there is no substitute for our depth of knowledge and experience. Each day of a Galápagos cruise carries you to new sites that are rich and varied. One day you can be snorkelling among sea turtles, playful sea lions, or Galápagos penguins; on another climbing to the rim of one of the largest volcano craters in the world.
We have specialised in offering a variety of cruises and tours for discerning travellers over many years. Our expert, dedicated specialists have personally experienced these cruises, they are able to accurately help you compare vessels and select the right trip to suit your requirements.
Today these magical islands are on every adventure traveller’s “most wanted” list of remote, isolated and fascinating places to visit. Home to many of our planet’s unique life forms, the Galápagos have enthralled naturalists, biologists, zoologists, photographers and documentary makers for decades. Ask anybody who has been there and you’ll invariably get a tale to turn you green with envy. Now it can be your turn!
Now, this living laboratory of evoution is an Ecuadorian National Park, with a strict yearly visitor quota. In an effort to preserve the islands just as they were centuries ago, the Galápagos has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
After leaving the Galápagos Islands the second part of our Odyssey begins as we travel to Peru. No visit to Peru would be complete without a visit to Cuzco, once capital of the Inca civilisation and the so-called “Lost City of the Incas”, Machu Picchu, the most famous and spectacular archaeological site in South America. Cuzco is the oldest continuously inhabited city on the continent, its cobbled streets are lined with stone walls built by the Incas and overlayed by colonial buildings including the magnificent cathedral dating from 1559. The colourful inhabitants are Quechua descendants of the Incas.
