Benefits Of Machu Picchu And Galapagos Tours

By Young Lindsay


Deciding where to go on vacation can be difficult as there are so many wonderful choices to be had. The range of options includes everything from relaxing days on a sunny beach, enjoying some fun in the snow, visiting national monuments and historical sites to amusement parks and much more. If looking for an incredible time, Machu Picchu and Galapagos tours are definitely something that should be considered.

Though completely separate entities, both destinations are incredible to behold and contain an enormous amount of unique history. Purchasing a vacation package from a travel agent that encompasses time at each of these places makes for a great time. Visitors are given a once in a lifetime experience twice within the same trip.

Each of these locations share an incredible beauty, though they are as different as could be. One is a testament to the organization, innovation and architectural genius of a civilization long gone. The next is like stepping through a veil and entering a land that exists apart from the rest of the world, hosting a menagerie of unique wildlife, amazing landscapes and a multitude of natural treasures.

The first is the ruins of an ancient 15th century Inca civilization that had remained virtually untouched by modern man until its discovery in 1911. It is located in the Cusco Region of Peru on a hilltop among the Andean Mountain Range overlooking the incredible Urabamba Valley. It is meticulously maintained and protected by multiple national historical societies.

As a wonderful testament to the innovative spirit of the Inca people, the site demonstrates the traditional style of the civilization as well as their knowledge of how to utilize the terrain to their advantage. At the hill's crest sits the temple and other religious buildings, and the residential zone sits just below. Aqueducts transport water to the fields in the lowest areas, letting the natural downward angle of the land.

An Archipelago housing some of the world's most interesting creatures and equally fascinating weather conditions, is the second destination in this package. Sitting out in the Pacific Ocean, on the equator, near Ecuador, the group of nineteen islands and more than two dozen surrounding islets consist almost exclusively of volcanic rock. The combination of location based factors creates some truly fascinating results.

Among the amazing sites to see there are the incredible rock towers, the inland lagoons, remotely located mangroves, dramatic cliffs, impressive lava flows, volcanoes and coastlines teaming with activity. Visitors often enjoy visiting the secret pirate hideouts and caves, or scuba diving along the coral reefs and exploring the submerged craters that are abundant with interesting marine life. The islands are famous for their unique wildlife which includes giant tortoises, sea turtles, the world's only marine iguanas, boobies, whales, fur seals and so many more remarkable animal species

With this combination of two amazing destinations, the memories are bound to be treasured forever. Each has its share of history, beauty, charm and allure, but they also have unique qualities found nowhere else on Earth. It is almost like taking a double vacation with very different environments.
