Choose Machu Picchu And Galapagos Tours

By Young Lindsay


It can be quite a challenge to decide where to spend a vacation when there are so many great options available. Having to choose between such classic greats such as amusement parks, historical sites, great national monuments, beautiful slopes covered with perfect snow for skiing, or beaches that stretch for miles may seem like a near impossibility. For a bit of variety in two incredible destinations, consider Machu Picchu and Galapagos tours.

These two locations are incredibly unique in their styling, filled with history and brimming with marvels. Travel agencies often feature packages that provide trips to both destinations including the amenities for the duration. Anyone taking this type of jaunt is sure to be awed and amazed and to make many wonderful memories.

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 takes visitors back to the 15th century to see the remains of an ancient Inca city that was practically unseen until it was discovered by an explorer in 1911. The structure sits on an Andean hilltop in the Cusco Region in Peru and looks out over the majestic Urabamba Valley. A set of historical preservation societies care for and preserve its condition and history.

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.

The second is an amazing grouping of islands that are full of incredible animals who are uniquely adapted to their strange environment, which is unlike any other on the planet. Situated on the equator in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Ecuador, the Archipelago consists of nineteen islands and a multitude of islets, all made almost entirely of volcanic rock. Its location creates a mix of climates with interesting results.

At this site, visitors will behold incredible sites like impossible rock towers, majestic volcanoes, centuries old lava flows creating unique coastlines, remotely accessed mangroves, inland lagoons and amazing cliffs, just to name a few. Many individuals enjoy the caves and old pirate hiding spots as well as the coral reefs and craters, submerged and teaming with marine life, perfect for scuba diving. The giant tortoises named for the islands, are just a fraction of this unique wildlife mix that includes penguins, boobies, marine iguanas, fur seals, sea turtles, whales and so much more.

The potential for a lifetime of treasured memories is abundant in a vacation with two such marvelous destinations. Both give visitors a bevy of beautiful sites, great allure and charm as well as a look back in history, but they still manage to be completely unique from one another It is a creative combination that will provide much enjoyment.
