Combining the most interesting tourist attractions into one tour is always very nice solution. Taking one of very popular Machu Picchu Galapagos packages you can combine two of the most interesting destinations in South America into one incredible journey. Most tours take maybe two weeks or so, and are designed to show you the best of these two worlds, the mysterious beauty of Machu Picchu and the unique ecosystem of Galapagos Islands.
These tours usually start in Peru, with Cusco, ancient Inca's capital. Another place you can visit is called Ollantaytambo. This small village is a home of one really beautiful Inca's fortress. The train will take you from there directly to the Sacred Valley, following the river Urumba. You will find the incredible Machu Picchu there, surrounded by sacred land.
It is believed that emperor Pachacuti built this amazing place, during the fifteenth century. This place is a shining example of Inca's amazing architectural skills. Beautifully designed, this city was made to resist earthquakes and seismic movements, and the walls are made of precisely shaped stones. Some reconstructions are made, but most of the city is saved intact.
People lived here only for a century or so. It is still unknown why they have decided to leave. Some scientists think that it was due to smallpox epidemic. Isolated and surrounded by the jungle, the place remained forgotten for centuries. It was discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911.
Sacred land is all around the city. Maybe it was built here to honor this sacred land, although some scientists have different theories about it. Some believe it was built here to serve as a temple, or a royal retreat. Once, some people believed it was the Lost city of the Inca's. Well, the real city was actually discovered, and this theory was deserted. The reason for building this place is now irrelevant, the important thing is that you can enjoy exploring it.
Incredible beauty of Galapagos Islands will give you entirely different experience, but equally stunning. This whole area is one unique marine ecosystem, and you won't find anything similar anywhere else. Specific, isolated location and constant seismic and volcanic activities shaped this amazing place. The diversity of plant and animal life here is simply fascinating. Don't miss this amazing experience.
The complexity and uniqueness of these amazing ecosystems actually inspired Charles Darwin's theory of the evolution, during his visit in 1835. You will see flightless cormorants here, marine iguanas, endemic trees and other interesting plants, such as large cacti and a wide variety of bird species. In short, this is an incredibly rich and versatile wildlife.
Thanks to this place's unique geology, some islands are very young, while others are several times older. This is actually the place where three major tectonic plates meet, and unique geology is the result of this. Incredible underwater life forms are simply stunning. Diving here is one of the best experiences of this voyage, and you shouldn't miss this opportunity. Take this chance and explore these amazingly beautiful corals, surrounded with unique marine mammals.
