If you decide to visit South America, maybe you should combine more tourist attractions in one tour. For example, really exciting Machu Picchu Galapagos packages combine exploring one of the most famous architectural masterpieces and enjoying in one of the most unique ecosystems in the world. These two incredible weeks might be the best two weeks of your life, and this is certainly something you will remember.
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.
Machu Picchu was built in the fifteenth century, most probably during the reign of Pachacuti. This masterpiece of Inca's architecture is really incredible. Precisely shaped stones form walls resistant to earthquakes, and this was really important in this area, with so high seismic activity. There was no need for mortar here, the stones were so precisely adjusted. Some reconstructing works were done here, but most parts are saved as they were.
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.
Charles Darwin was so amazed by this incredible ecosystems that he wrote his Evolution Theory inspired by them. There are so many incredible, unique life forms here. This include great turtles, marine iguanas and flightless cormorants. There are also different endemic plant species and an incredible variety of birds species to be seen here.
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.
