Globus | Peru & Ecuador: Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley & the Galapagos

Your South American Tour


Small groups lead to big experiences on this Small Group Discovery tour. And this Small Group Discovery tour is an adventure of epic proportions—while enjoying inspiring boutique hotels, insightful private tours, incredible culinary delights, indigenous cultures, and ancient ruins. Discover the ultimate South America adventure on this immersive journey from Peru to Ecuador and the Galápagos. Begin in Lima with a warm welcome and guided exploration of the city’s colonial treasures, vibrant markets, and artistic neighborhoods before delving into the heart of the Andes—Cusco and the Sacred Valley—where ancient Inca traditions come alive through community visits, sacred ceremonies, and unforgettable cuisine. Stand in awe at legendary Machu Picchu with an overnight stay near the ruins, savoring rare sunrise moments before continuing to culturally rich Cusco. From there, fly to Quito to explore one of the best‑preserved historic centers in the Americas, then embark on a small‑ship cruise through the Galápagos Islands, guided by expert naturalists. Encounter extraordinary wildlife—giant tortoises, blue‑footed boobies, sea lions, marine iguanas, and more—while snorkeling, hiking, and exploring pristine islands. Blending history, culture, nature, and refined comfort, this exceptional itinerary offers once‑in‑a‑lifetime experiences across three iconic destinations.
