Nine of the Best Isles (Western and Northern Route)

Your land adventure begins in the vibrant city of Lima, where ancient history meets modern charm. From Lima, take a flight to Cusco and explore the ancient seat of the Inca Empire. An early morning transfer will take you to Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley, where you’ll catch a train along the narrow-gauge line to the majestic Machu Picchu. After this unforgettable experience, take a morning flight to Cusco, the city of eternal spring.

Next, embark on the next stage of your journey as your cruise begins to explore the spectacular Galápagos Islands. Scan the coastline and seas for iconic species at Isabela and Fernandina. Meet the famous giant tortoises of Galápagos in Santa Cruz and discover the picturesque Floreana.

Immerse yourself in Galápagos history and underwater wildlife, then relax in Baltra. See iconic wildlife and spectacular landscapes at Santiago Island and soak up the sights and sounds in stunning Rábida and Bartolomé. Discover a bird paradise haven at Genovesa.

A final highlight of your expedition cruise is seeing giant tortoises in the wild before transferring to a flight back to Quito.
