Cruise Green in the Galapagos see the Blue Footed Boobie, visit Machu Picchu, and Cuzco !!!!

The Galapagos Islands is a place on earth virtually unaffected by change. Hosting animals, plants and marine life not seen anywhere else in the world.
Have you ever seen a giant tortoise lay eggs, nest, or watch their eggs hatch? How many times have you seen the blue footed boobie bird do its comedic courtship dance? How about a swim with penguins? Welcome to the Galapagos islands. Imagine exploring the Galapagos islands on a small ship taking zodiacs and kayaks ashore in small groups with naturalists. This is the land that inspired Darwin's theory of evolution. Scientists have found the animal life on the Galapagos to have no instinctive or learned fear of humans so observing the unique wildlife from up close and personal is compelling.

Imagine yourself hiking through the ruins of the lost ancient Incan civilizations high atop the Andes mountains. Cuzco is where you will usually fly into on a small plane. The word Cuzco means "belly of the world". The archaeological city of Cuzco was once the center of the Inca empire at about 11,152 feet above sea level and about 115 kilometers from Machu Picchu by bus and train. The surrounding areas are dotted with Incan ruins and winding roads. The native Indians have a presence in the area they are the Quechua Indians who are peaceful people and hard working. Producing some of the most beautiful woven wools my eyes have ever seen. Machu Picchu means "Macho or Manly Peak" Machu Picchu was rediscovered by a professor in 1911 while on an expedition in the Andes. High above the Urubamba river the area hosts over 90 species of orchids with a lush semitropical vegetation and surrounded by mountain peaks galore. Machu Picchu also referred to as the "Lost city of the Incas" it will take your breath away. You will be amazed at how these ancient people constructed this stone city with the quality that puts many modern day masons to shame. In many cases the only thing these buildings are missing are their original thatched roofs. Under the city you will want to explore the mysterious passageways carved by the Incas. Lodging atop the mountain is also a life experience you will not want miss. Contact me I can arrange a fantastic exploration experience for you on land and sea.
