The wonders of the Inca Empire, culminating in a trip to the world famous temple at Machu Picchu, is only the beginning of this extraordinary journey. Continue your voyage of discovery with a tour of the Galápagos Islands, birthplace to the Theory of Evolution. Aboard the M/V Galápagos Explorer II, the most spectacular and luxurious ship ever to sail these waters, you’ll have the opportunity to observe a wilderness kingdom full of creatures found nowhere else on earth – up close and so personal that a finch just might land on your shoulder or a marine iguana sneeze salt on your camera. Whether it’s a passion for history, science, nature, or all of the above that drives you on your travels, you should find this trip nearly impossible to disappoint.
