Itineraries
Ecuador, Galápagos and Peru — itinerary by itinerary
Fourteen programmes with the full day-by-day published, the inclusions listed and a price to start from. Every one gets rebuilt around your dates, your party and the hotel standard you want.
Galápagos
Land-based island hopping across the three inhabited islands. Hotels, licensed park naturalists, and the two snorkelling sites everything else is measured against.
5-Day Galápagos: Santa Cruz & Isabela
The shortest island-hopping trip that still reaches two inhabited islands without spending itself in transit. You sleep in hotels, cross between islan…
8-Day Galápagos: San Cristóbal, Santa Cruz & Isabela
The full land-based archipelago. Eight days is where island hopping stops being a compromise: you get all three inhabited islands, both of the great s…
6-Day Luxury Galápagos
For travellers who want the Galápagos without a cabin on a moving boat. Top hotel category on each island, private guiding rather than a shared group,…
6-Day Galápagos Multisport
The same islands, approached under your own power. You bike down the Santa Cruz highlands, kayak Tortuga Bay and the Tintoreras channels, hike the Sie…
The Ecuadorian Amazon
Three community-owned lodges on the Napo, thirty minutes by air from Quito. Clay licks, canopy towers, and money that stays in the forest.
4-Day Napo Wildlife Center Ecolodge
The most awarded lodge in the Ecuadorian Amazon, owned and run by the Kichwa community of Añangu, sitting on a blackwater lake deep inside Yasuní Nati…
4-Day Sani Lodge
Sani sits on Challuacocha, a blackwater oxbow lake reached by motorboat, a walk through flooded forest and a paddle across the lake. It is owned entir…
4-Day Napo Cultural Center

Peru
Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, the Nazca desert, the Salkantay trek and the Amazon at Iquitos.
5-Day Machu Picchu & Sacred Valley
The shortest itinerary that does Machu Picchu properly instead of sprinting at it. Cusco sits at 3,400 m, so the first days stay low-effort and the al…
6-Day Lima, Cusco & Machu Picchu
The standard first trip to Peru, and it is standard because it works: a day in Lima on the way in, three in and around Cusco, and Machu Picchu at the …
8-Day Magic Peru: Lima, Nazca, Cusco & Machu Picchu
The trip for people who want more of Peru than the Cusco circuit. It runs south down the desert coast first — Ballestas, the Nazca Lines from the air,…
6-Day Luxury Peru Experience
The same route as our five-day Cusco itinerary, done at the top of the market: the Palacio del Inka in Cusco, the Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu …
5-Day Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu
The alternative to the Inca Trail, and in several ways the better walk: higher, emptier, and it crosses from glacier to cloud forest in three days. It…
4-Day Ceiba Tops Amazon Lodge, Iquitos
The comfortable way into the Peruvian Amazon: private air-conditioned rooms twenty-five miles downriver from Iquitos, in primary rainforest, with a ca…
Ecuador + Peru together
The two things most people fly to South America for, sequenced so the connections actually work.
About the prices
Every figure is a from price: per person in double occupancy, based on our standard hotel category and low-season dates. High season, single occupancy and upgraded hotels move it. For anything in the Galápagos, add the US$220 per adult in National Park fees that no operator is allowed to include. What those fees are →
None of these is quite it?
Then describe the trip you actually want. That is the normal way this works.
