Vacation Overview
Discover the lasting impact of the Incan civilization during this exciting vacation. Your trip begins in Puerto Maldonado, the entry to Peru’s Amazon Jungle, where you spend three nights at your unique Amazon Jungle Lodge within the Ese’ Eja native Indian community. Enjoy boat trips to view turtles, caimans, monkeys, kingfishers, capped herons, and giant river otters—the largest and most endangered of the otter species. Then fly to Lima, the capital of Peru. Start with an introductory walking tour of this colonial city with visits to the cathedral and the San Francisco Monastery. Then drive to Ica, wine capital of Peru, for a flight over the mysterious Nazca Lines—geometric etchings left by ancient Peruvians. Cruise to Ballestas Islands, which are inhabited by a wide variety of sea mammals, before heading back to Lima. Fly to Cuzco, once the capital of the Inca Empire, and spend the day in the Sacred Valley. While there, visit the Temple of Sacsayhuaman. It remains unfathomable how and when this fortress of gigantic stones—with some blocks weighing more than 350 tons—was built. In Cuzco, you also enjoy a sightseeing tour with visits to the cathedral and the Santo Domingo Monastery. Stop in Pisac to visit a home, meet some of the locals, and experience the way of life in this old mountain village. Visit the Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo before traveling through Urubamba Valley by train on your way to legendary Machu Picchu, “The Lost City of the Incas.” Your tour with a Local Guide brings you closer to the lives and mysteries still hidden in these amazing structures. You also have free time to wander and tour the Machu Picchu ruins at your own pace. Next, travel to Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca. Enjoy a boat trip on this world-famous lake to see some of the more unique islands. Visit Taquile Island, one of the last areas of Peru to be conquered by Spain in the 16th century, and Uros Floating Islands, islands made of reed and home of the Uros Indians. Return to Lima via Juliaca, then fly to Quito, Ecuador, for a city tour before flying to the Galápagos Islands. Enjoy a 4-night Galápagos Islands cruise and visit Bartolomé, Santiago, Fernandina, North Seymour, Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, and Isabela Islands. Look for giant tortoises at a reserve, blue-footed boobies, sea turtles, sea lions, land iguanas, Darwin’s finches, and Sally Lightfoot crabs. After your cruise, fly to Guayaquil to conclude your exciting vacation to Peru and the Galápagos Islands.

Standard Offers and Specials provided by Globus Tours Discount for young travelers* 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!

Standard Offers and Specials provided by Globus Tours

Discount for young travelers

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!
