The art of travelling with respect
Your South America holiday begins in Peru. Set in high Andean mountains at 3320m, Cusco is an attractive town which draws people from all over the world. Built on the foundations of an Inca city, you can still see intricate Inca masonry and buildings as you walk through the town.
There is an opportunity to visit the Sacred Valley of the Incas, including the colourful market in the town of Pisac, and the Inca ruins and town of Ollantaytambo. It is then just a short train ride to Aguas Calientes and a visit to the magnificent Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.
From Machu Picchu you head back to Cusco by train, before flying to Lima. From here you fly to Quito in Ecuador and then on to the Galapagos Islands. Your South America holiday finishes with a 7 night cruise around the Galapagos Islands, one of the world's greatest wildlife experiences. Your home for the next week is a prestige class yacht and you will have the opportunity to explore some of the islands on foot and also go swimming and snorkelling, perhaps even being joined by sea lions.
All accommodation (in 3* hotels or yacht cabin), meals and excursions as shown, flights Lima-Cusco-Lima, Lima-Quito and Quito-Galapagos-Quito.
Please consult.
This is an easy trip.
Between April and October (dry season). The Galapagos Islands are a year round destination.
From the UK, flights to Lima cost from £700.
Duration: 14 days.
We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.
International flights will add from about £750 to £1000 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Peru combines very well with Ecuador (including the Galapagos Island), but can also be linked with Brazil.
For a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.

This was an outstanding experience, which exceeded expectations. Totally enjoyable.
The level of service, good organisation and the general hospitality of the Peruvian team ensured that this was the best holiday we have ever had toget...
Glad we went, learnt so much but found the altitude and 'Peruvian tummy' challenging at times!
