Galapagos & Machu Picchu
Ask any room full of people to name the top five places that they want to visit before they die, and there's a very good chance that either a trip to the Galapagos Islands or Machu Picchu will be high up on the list.
And with both offering a unique glimpse into another world, surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery on earth, who can blame them?
So if seeing the staggering ruins of this ancient Inca site and visiting the place that inspired Darwin to write his theory of evolution are on your bucket list, why not combine them in a single trip and tick off two boxes at once?
