Deciding where to go on vacation can be difficult as there are so many wonderful choices to be had. The range of options includes everything from relaxing days on a sunny beach, enjoying some fun in the snow, visiting national monuments and historical sites to amusement parks and much more. If looking for an incredible time, Machu Picchu and Galapagos tours are definitely something that should be considered.
Each of these locations is truly unique in their existence and have so much history and wonderment to offer. Vacations deals that include transportation, lodging and guided site seeing to both places within the same package are available through travel agencies. They are sure to leave each person with a sense of awe and amazement.
Although both of these destinations are truly incredible, they could not be any less alike. At one, history comes to life and the innovative spirit, engineering genius and societal organization of a past civilization becomes apparent. In the other it is like entering a whole new world with its own climate, unique natural beauty, plenty of hidden treasures and a blend of wildlife seen nowhere else.
The first is the ruins of an ancient 15th century Inca civilization that had remained virtually untouched by modern man until its discovery in 1911. It is located in the Cusco Region of Peru on a hilltop among the Andean Mountain Range overlooking the incredible Urabamba Valley. It is meticulously maintained and protected by multiple national historical societies.
As a wonderful testament to the innovative spirit of the Inca people, the site demonstrates the traditional style of the civilization as well as their knowledge of how to utilize the terrain to their advantage. At the hill's crest sits the temple and other religious buildings, and the residential zone sits just below. Aqueducts transport water to the fields in the lowest areas, letting the natural downward angle of the land.
The other location is an Archipelago with its very own unique environment and an unlikely mix of wildlife that seem perfectly suited to the strangeness of their home. The nineteen island grouping and all the surrounding islets, are constructed primarily of volcanic rock and sit in the Pacific Ocean, on the equator, adjacent to the coast of Peru. The climate is an odd mix between tropical and polar, creating an environment like no other.
Among the amazing sites to see there are the incredible rock towers, the inland lagoons, remotely located mangroves, dramatic cliffs, impressive lava flows, volcanoes and coastlines teaming with activity. Visitors often enjoy visiting the secret pirate hideouts and caves, or scuba diving along the coral reefs and exploring the submerged craters that are abundant with interesting marine life. The islands are famous for their unique wildlife which includes giant tortoises, sea turtles, the world's only marine iguanas, boobies, whales, fur seals and so many more remarkable animal species
With this combination of two amazing destinations, the memories are bound to be treasured forever. Each has its share of history, beauty, charm and allure, but they also have unique qualities found nowhere else on Earth. It is almost like taking a double vacation with very different environments.
