Deciding which exciting location should be the pick for the annual vacation can be a most difficult situation. There are literally thousands of wonderful adventures from which one may make their selection. With so many options and hardly enough time to do them all, taking one of the incredible Machu Picchu and Galapagos combined tours could be the way to tackle two stops in one trip.

Through travel agents specializing in South American destinations, one may book a customized or standard package that rolls two incredible locations into one getaway. Some of the things that might be included in the price are travel accommodations around the area via boats, trains, planes or automobiles, as well as bookings at area hotels, inns or rental homes. The details can often be adjusted to fit an individual's preferences and budget.

There are several other amenities that one may also choose to include. As an example, a guided tour through the ruins or around the islands might be added, reservations at dining establishments, special shows, fun activities and even bus, train or helicopter rides to sight see the surrounding areas as well. An individual may discuss their preferences with their agent to customize the perfect vacation.

The ruins, set high upon the Andean Mountains of Peru, are listed as one of the wonders of the world, being an ancient Inca city made in the traditional style with walls of polished, dry stones. It had been virtually untouched by modern man until the early 1900's. Thanks to the protection of multiple historical preservation groups, it has remained in near perfect condition.

Visitors may explore the ancient structures to experience a small taste of how the Inca once lived in the 15th century. The city is designed in such a way to optimize the efficiency of all three main classes of agricultural, urban and religious functions. Set at the top of the hill, the view of a sprawling valley below is simply breathtaking.

Traveling to the archipelago, which consists of 19 islands and dozens of islets straddling the equator, is like witnessing all of evolution in one location. This land is like no other place on Earth and features varied terrains and unique climates as well as a most unusual collection of flora and fauna. It is a magical place that seems unbelievable to those beholding it for the first time.

As it is set directly above the Nazca Plate, the most active volcanic region in the world, the land masses are composed almost entirely of hardened lava rock. Guests may explore caves, coral reefs, submerged craters, cliffs and impressive rock towers all dotted with surprisingly lush foliage. The diverse collection of animals include marine iguanas, giant tortoises, sea lions, whales, stingrays, dolphins, sea turtles, penguins and hundreds of bird species.

Each of these beautiful South American locations will give the traveler a vacation they are sure to recall for many years to follow. One may not only get a glimpse of how life was for one ancient civilization, but they will see a land of evolutionary wonder. This type of getaway is truly an opportunity to see the world as never before.
