Vacation Overview After guided city sightseeing in Quito, fly to the Galápagos for five days of cruising aboard the Santa Cruz. Stops include Cerro Dragón, Bartolomé, Puerto Egas, Rabida, North Seymour, and Santa Cruz Islands. Each day, travel ashore to the remote islands with your expert Naturalist who introduces the unique fauna living free and fearless of man. Giant Tortoises, Galápagos fur sea lions, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, frigates, and finches are some of the species you will find on land. Explore the waters where you will find tropical fish, playful sea lions, and maybe even an equatorial penguin or shark! Also visit the Charles Darwin Research Station. Next, fly to Lima and enjoy guided city sightseeing before flying to Cuzco for guided city sightseeing with visits to the Monastery, Cathedral, and Sacsayhuaman. In Pisac, visit with locals and buy local wares before visiting the Incan fortress of Ollantaytambo. A train ride brings you to Machu Picchu. After a morning at leisure in Machu Picchu, return to Cuzco followed by a free day in Lima.

Share the pleasure of a Globus vacation with your children and grandchildren and take advantage of a 10-percent discount on the land-only price. For eligibility, children must be under 18 years of age on the departure date and must be accompanied by an adult. On escorted vacations we don’t accept children under eight years old because we have found that they are too young to enjoy these vacations.
Pay less for your second vacation We charge you vacation price for your first vacation in 2008, but for every additional Globus vacation you take in the same year, you pay US$35 under list. Our vacations are designed and scheduled so you can combine them almost any way you want. It’s fun to play the add-a-vacation game yourself or talk to your travel agent.
Triple room reduction On most Globus vacations you receive a reduction when three people travel together and share the same accommodations. Triple room reductions, when available, are listed on the itinerary pages. A word of caution: Triple rooms usually are no larger than twin rooms and the third bed, if there is one, is often a rollaway put in a twin-bedded room.
Avoid the single room supplement We do not take reservations on a “share” basis because we have found that strangers rarely enjoy sharing a room for the duration of their vacation. Avoid the single room supplement by traveling with a friend. It’s less expensive and much more fun!
