Lima to La Paz and Galapagos

31 days - from $8830

Mix Peru’s great cities with outstanding natural sights, add La Paz’s singular splendour and finish with the Galapagos – a feast of the region’s finest!

At every turn there are fantastic discoveries on this trip. Choose your favourite piece of colonial splendour among the cobbled laneways and grand plazas of Arequipa and Cusco; watch condors wheeling overhead in Colca Canyon before following remote Inca trails to striking Machu Picchu. Explore La Paz’s heady brew of frenetic markets and colourful streetlife then take in the world’s greatest wildlife show. In the air, on earth and underwater, the Galapagos are simply incomparable, where rich birdlife, fearless mammals and playful marine animals come together amidst enthralling volcanic scenery. A week here gets the best out of the island's many marvels, and is the perfect end to a month of unforgettable experiences among some of the brightest jewels in South America.
