If you would like to see the most popular attraction of South America in a single journey, take one of really interesting combined tours. Machu Picchu Galapagos packages might be the best solution, because they combine two of their most popular tourist attractions into one incredible travel experience. Two weeks of a pure pleasure, exploring some of the most beautiful places on the world, it really sounds great.
These tours usually start in Peru, with Cusco, ancient Inca's capital. Another place you can visit is called Ollantaytambo. This small village is a home of one really beautiful Inca's fortress. The train will take you from there directly to the Sacred Valley, following the river Urumba. You will find the incredible Machu Picchu there, surrounded by sacred land.
Built in the fifteenth century, probably by Inca's emperor Pachacuti, this city is certainly one of the most valuable examples of Inca's architecture. Built of precisely shaped stone blocks and chips, it was designed to resist to different seismic activities quite common in this area. Some parts of these stone walls had to be reconstructed, but they are mostly saved in their original state.
The city was inhabited for maybe one hundred years, and then deserted for some reason. Some scientists believe that the chickenpox epidemic was the main reason for leaving this place. In any case, after that the jungle took over. The place was lost and forgotten for centuries, until Hiram Bingham found it in 1911.
Sacred land is all around the city. Maybe it was built here to honor this sacred land, although some scientists have different theories about it. Some believe it was built here to serve as a temple, or a royal retreat. Once, some people believed it was the Lost city of the Inca's. Well, the real city was actually discovered, and this theory was deserted. The reason for building this place is now irrelevant, the important thing is that you can enjoy exploring it.
In the Pacific Ocean, there is another place that will take your breath away. The Galapagos Islands are home to so many wonderful animal and plant species that they form astonishing marine ecosystem that exists only here, and nowhere else. Constant volcanic and seismic activity, as well as some other factors, that include specific location, made it possible. This unique place offers one truly memorable experience.
These unique ecosystems are so incredible that inspired Charles Darwin to write his Evolution Theory. He was here in 1834. There are so many specific life forms here, including different animal and bird species such as flightless cormorant, for example, or unique marine iguanas. Various endemic plants and incredible variety of bird species make this place a true Eden.
Thanks to this place's unique geology, some islands are very young, while others are several times older. This is actually the place where three major tectonic plates meet, and unique geology is the result of this. Incredible underwater life forms are simply stunning. Diving here is one of the best experiences of this voyage, and you shouldn't miss this opportunity. Take this chance and explore these amazingly beautiful corals, surrounded with unique marine mammals.
