Essential Peru, the Nazca Lines, and the Galapagos Islands on Yacht Isabela II

Peru rail trip combining Nazca Lines and Galapagos on Isabela II

Railbookers sells this Essential Peru, Nazca Lines, and Galapagos package as an independent, 19-day, 18-night trip through Peru and Ecuador. It begins in Lima, moves to the Sacred Valley, then the evidence describes boarding a train to Machu Picchu before continuing to Cusco. The route then heads west to the coastal town of Paracas, described as offering a range of experiences, before continuing to Quito for a cruise around the Galapagos Islands aboard the Yacht Isabela II. It suits travellers who want to combine Peru's Andean rail route, the Paracas coast, and Galapagos wildlife into one long, independently arranged trip rather than a fixed group schedule.
