This fascinating trip combines two truly outstanding places in South America. Flying into the Peruvian highlands, we encounter Cuzco, a city replete with Inca architecture and colonial charm. A beautiful train ride through mountains and cloud forest takes us to the extraordinary lost city of Machu Picchu. Ecuador's Galapagos archipelago is one of the world's leading ecological sites, with incredible fauna both on land and at sea as well as striking volcanic landscapes. We explore the islands from the comfort of our small motor yacht, which grants us access to areas that larger boats cannot reach.

We spend six nights in comfortable hotels and seven nights on the catamaran, Archipel I.



Our hotels selected feature an excellent blend of three-star quality, comfort, and easy walking access to city and town attractions.  Our Cuzco hotel is centrally located in the historic centre, while our Quito hotel is located close to the historic district, and close to many restaurants and attractions.



Worth knowing



Single rooms can be arranged for a supplement for the six hotel nights in Peru, subject to availability – please enquire at the time of booking. Unfortunately, we cannot offer single cabins on the boat in the Galapagos, and you will be paired with another traveller of the same sex for the seven nights on board.
