Classic Peru, the Nazca Lines, and the Galapagos Islands on Yacht La Pinta

Peru rail, flight, and cruise journey to the Galapagos on La Pinta

Illustration of Classic Peru, the Nazca Lines, and the Galapagos Islands on Yacht La Pinta

Railbookers sells this 24-day, 23-night independent package through Peru, with a Galapagos Islands extension in Ecuador aboard the yacht La Pinta. The trip explores Lima's culture before heading into the Sacred Valley to see its ancient ruins and on to Machu Picchu. From there, the package traverses Cusco, Lake Titicaca, and the Colca Canyon by scenic train, continuing to Arequipa. Travelers also take a scenic flight over the Nazca Lines and a boat cruise around the Ballestas Islands to see marine wildlife, before the itinerary returns to Lima and continues on to Quito and the Galapagos Islands aboard La Pinta. Because it is sold as an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers move between stops largely on their own between the connections Railbookers arranges. At 28,499 US dollars per person, it is priced well above Railbookers' other Peru and Galapagos package.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this package in the evidence available to us; confirm the exact schedule, hotels, and cruise dates with them before booking.
  • Only the Cusco, Lake Titicaca, and Colca Canyon segment is described as train travel in the evidence; the Nazca Lines are reached by air, the Ballestas Islands by boat, and the Galapagos Islands portion is a yacht cruise aboard La Pinta, so most of this package is not rail travel.
  • The evidence available does not list current departure dates for this trip; check with Railbookers for availability.
