The Wonders of Peru, The Andean Explorer, and the Galapagos onboard Yacht Isabela II

Twenty-day Peru rail and Galapagos journey from Lima to Machu Picchu and beyond

Illustration of The Wonders of Peru, The Andean Explorer, and the Galapagos onboard Yacht Isabela II

Railbookers' 20-day package combines Peruvian rail travel with a Galapagos cruise, following the Andean Explorer from Lima through the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu, Cusco, and Arequipa before heading to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. This independent itinerary is suited to history-minded travellers and photographers drawn to Incan archaeology, mountain scenery, and remote wildlife. The route travels by train, coach, and ship across diverse altitudes and landscapes, from Lake Titicaca to canyon viewpoints to Pacific waters. Because the itinerary is independent rather than guided, you organize your own excursions and meals, making this a flexible option for experienced travellers comfortable navigating South America on their own.
