The tour begins in Peru where there is a lot of mystery concerning the Inca civilisation and in particular the amazing 'Lost City of the Incas' at Machu Piccu. The Ancient sights in the Sacred Valley, together with the important city of Cusco will give you the opportunity to see and learn more about these people and to see how the Indians live in the present day by visiting the colourful local markets where crafts and produce are sold daily. We also give you the opportunity to experience past glories of the Peruvian way of life, with a stay in a gracious hacienda steeped in family history dating back to 1688.

After 11 days spent in Peru you will fly into Equador to continue the tour for a further 8 days. Equador is a country of amazing scenery with volcanoes and snow capped mountains, green valleys with impressive colonial cities like Quito and Cuenca, quaint Indian villages, farmlands, haciendas, lakes and rivers of crystal blue waters.

At the end of the tour you have a choice of returning home or to spend a few extra days visiting The Galapagos Islands, birthplace of Darwin's concept of Evolution. So unique are the species on these islands that virtually all of the repltiles and half of the plants and bird life are found nowhere else in the world. A cruise will give you ample opportunity to see Nature completely unspoilt!
