| Information about this itinerary: |
| Quito (20 Hotels options in Quito) |  | The Capital City of Ecuador - Quito has wonderful spring-like climate. It is in a valley flanked by majestic mountains and on a clear day, several snow-capped volcanoes are visible from the capital. Is rich in history and much of the old colonial town is well preserved, the buildings are unchanged and to walk down colonial Quito's streets late at night is to step into bygone eras. Quito nestles a rich treasury of religious and decorative architecture and arts. |
| Galapagos Islands (20 Hotels options in Galapagos Islands) |  | The Galapagos are located six hundred miles west of the Ecuadorian coastline. Its wonders span from the most varied and incredible geological formations: lava flows, blowholes, spatter cones, lava tunnels, to beaches of olive, black, or white sand and the most diverse species of animal and plant life. The most surprising sight for visitors however, is perhaps the varied species of animals, which inspired Charles Darwin on his visit in 1835. |
| Lima City (25 Hotels options in Lima City) |  | The once-called City of Kings, founded in 1535, is the gateway to Peru's main tourist attractions. It is a city of fine museums and magnificent pre-Columbian collections, such as the Gold Museum, the National Archaeology and Anthropology Museum, the Amaro Museum, Museo de la Nacion etc. It is the gastronomic capital of South America with outstanding restaurants. Peruvian cuisine is world-renowned. Shopping for locally crafted textle items such as sweaters, rugs, etc is a pleasure. |
| Sacred Valley (11 Hotels options in Sacred Valley) |  | A few kilometers north of Cuzco, stretches out the beautiful valley of Urubamba river. Called Valle Sagrado, Sacred Valley, it was a sacred place for the Incas and the place that gave birth to the Inca civilization. The valley is still a sacred place for the local people who respect the valley and its history, and for the visitors who will be overwhelmed by the atmospheric touch and the unique mixture of culture and nature.
|
| Machu Picchu (13 Hotels options in Machu Picchu) |  | The Machu Picchu archaeological complex is located at 75 miles from Cuzco. The ruins are situated on the eastern slope of Machu Picchu in two separate areas: the agricultural and the urban. In addition to roaming the Machu Picchu Inca citadel, there are many activities available to the visitor such as trekking the Inca trail, bird-watching or bathing in the hot springs of the village of Aguas Calientes, located at the foot of the citadel.
|
| Cuzco (18 Hotels options in Cuzco) |  | The city of Cuzco is the archaeological capital of the Americas and the continent's oldest continuously inhabited city. Massive Inca's stone walls line most of Cuzco's central streets and form foundations of colonial and modern buildings. This is a great city to spend a few days with plenty to do. Plazas, archaeological sites, churches, museums, coffee shops, markets, artist communities such as San Blas are just a few of the attractions. |

| Santiago (22 Hotels options in Santiago) |  | Santiago is an architectural collage of old Spanish colonial charm, European elegance, and North American suburbia, populated with five million amiable Chileans. However, the city lacks the Indian markets prevalent in other Andean countries. In the city's center there are pedestrian malls with cobblestone walkways lined with shopping galleries, fountains, cafes, movie theaters, ice cream shops, and banks. There is an intense activity in the arts and also an exciting nightlife. |
| Torres del Paine (6 Hotels options in Torres del Paine) |  | Torres del Paine National Park, declared Reserve of the Biosphere by Unesco in 1978, is the most important and internationally renowned highlight of the Chilean Patagonia.
In this beautiful, unspoiled and remote place of 181,000 hectares, the granite torres (towers) and cuernos (horns) have given world-wide fame to the Park. It also offers seclusion and adventure with spectacular scenery of mountain range, lakes, rivers and the pampa, which is home to the graceful guanaco (a relative of the llama) and the speedy ņandu (a variety of ostrich), while high above circles the ubiquitous condor.
The best season to visit the park is from October to April, which is Spring and Summer in the southern hemisphere. This season has more sunny days with less rain. |
