Galapagos MultiSport Adventure

Overview

Featuring extraordinary wildlife viewing, hiking, biking and snorkeling, our Galápagos Multi-Sport offers a multifaceted way to explore the Galápagos Archipelago. Visiting the three largest islands and several others, our small group size allows us to spend more time observing the bizarre wildlife and enjoying the active nature of our vacation while lodging in portside villages allows independence and a cultural experience you won’t experience on a tour boat. Staying in the local lodges is also a great way to contribute directly to the local community without sacrificing our access to this one-of-a-kind wildlife sactuary. It doesn’t get any better than this!

Itinerary at a Glance

Machu Picchu Extension

How about a little history?

In the center of the Inca Empire—equally rich in adventure as it is in history–is the South American nation of Peru, a mystical land of rolling countryside, dramatic Andean viewscapes, archaeological remains of Inca and pre-Inca origin—extensive terracing, villages, fortresses and outposts with intensive agricultural activity.
Our Machu Picchu Extension is the best way to extend your Galapagos or Ecuador vacation and provides an in-depth exploration of the Inca Empire with visits to the Sacred Valley, the Pisac market and ruins, hiking, and a climactic visit to Machu Picchu.
