Down to the Amazon Rainforest

From Chimborazo Volcano, we traveled to Baños, and continued down to the Amazon rainforest.

At the last minute, we found a five-day Galápagos Islands cruise for an action-packed, all-inclusive, and guided wildlife expedition.

During the first part of our 16-day Galápagos adventure, we stayed land-based in hotels on two inhabited islands.

We traveled to Huaraz, the Andean adventure capital of Perú, to continue hiking to even higher altitudes.

On the winter solstice, we completed the four-day high-altitude Salkantay trek to reach the dream destination of Machu Picchu.

Over the course of multiple day trips from Cusco, we explored well-preserved archeological sites in the Sacred Valley of the Inca.

The Inca Empire was a dazzling but short-lived explosion of human civilization, centered in its capital city of Cusco, Perú.

Climbing high onto the Andean Plateau, we visited mythical and cultural Lake Titicaca.

We climbed onto the Andean Plateau for a three-day trek into the gaping Colca Canyon.

After a fast-paced first week of travel, we stopped for a week in the white city of Arequipa.
