What people love about Ecuador And Peru Tours
- Quito to La Paz: Amazon & Ancient Cultures
Great way to discover this part of South America!
- Quito to Lima: Surf Towns & Hot Springs
Absolutely amazing experience. I was so nervous about going on a tour by myself but I had nothing to worry about. The tour guide was brilliant and everything was very well organised. It was perfect for me as a young traveler wanting an adventure! A highlight for me was the homestay in the amazon jungle - the family were so welcoming and willing to share their lifestyle with us. I would go again in a heartbeat!
- 14 Days Peruvian Andes & Galapagos Islands
Outstanding from start to finish! We actually customized so we could travel for 17 days with Peru, Andes and the Galápagos Islands and we do not think it could have been better.
Travel Ecuador and Peru your way
Coach tours offer a smart way to see both countries' highlights while handling the altitude changes well. Starting from Lima, you'll move through the Sacred Valley stopping at Pisac's busy market and Ollantaytambo's impressive stone terraces. After exploring Machu Picchu, you'll head to Cusco to discover colonial churches and Inca ruins. The Ecuador portion connects Quito's historic UNESCO center with the Galapagos, including guided island walks for wildlife viewing. Our travelers appreciate how the schedule works - two nights in key spots and scenic Andean drives between locations. These tours usually run 12-15 days.
See all Coach / Bus toursOur most comprehensive journeys combine the Amazon, Galapagos Islands and also Inca sites into rich exploration routes. You'll join local guides in the Amazon to learn about medicinal plants, stay in jungle lodges and head out for night walks spotting wildlife you'd never see during daytime. Over in the Galapagos, you'll snorkel with playful sea lions at Las Tintoreras, hike up Sierra Negra volcano on Isabela Island and get up close to giant tortoises in their natural environment. Our travelers really enjoy how varied each day is - you might be learning to cook traditional Ecuadorian dishes one day, then watching blue-footed boobies dance around during mating season on North Seymour Island the next. These full tours run 18-22 days including all the internal flights you need between locations.

Discover Ecuador and Peru tours for every budget
Peru and Ecuador's top sites come together nicely on several budget-friendly routes. The 32-day journey from Quito to La Paz lets you dig deep into Amazon life, ancient cultures and local communities. Many of our travelers tell us the jungle homestays with Quichua families were their highlight - you learn firsthand about traditional plant uses and daily life. You'll cycle and make chocolate in Shandia, plus try different activities in Baños. There's also a practical 15-day Quito to Lima option that includes surf spots, thermal springs and also Amazon explorations. These tours balance guided activities with free time well - you get help with tricky logistics while keeping space to wander. The local transport adds authenticity; you'll travel like residents do.
Our customers often mention how the guides handle all the practicalities, leaving you free to focus on experiences like perfecting your ceviche in Lima or watching condors glide above the Andes. Many tell us they worried budget travel might feel too basic but found it actually created more genuine local connections than fancy tours would. The simple but clean accommodations work well, though you should plan for some overnight bus rides. Look for tours including essential entrance fees and Inca Trail permits to get the most value.
The high-end tours through Peru and Ecuador focus on exclusive access and refined comfort. Our 'Legacy of the Incas' program pairs carefully picked hotels with private site visits. You'll take part in a Mother Earth ceremony in the Sacred Valley with lunch prepared for your group alone. Local artisans share their craft up close and you'll see traditional weaving techniques in private sessions. Adding a 4-night Galapagos cruise on vessels like the intimate Seaman Journey makes it extra special - you explore hidden coves and snorkel clear waters before returning to elegant cabin comfort.
The timing and exclusive access really set these luxury options apart. You reach Machu Picchu early enough to see morning mist still floating around the ruins, ahead of other visitors. Small group Galapagos excursions with expert naturalists bring you face to face with blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas and also giant tortoises in their natural habitat. Our guests particularly value the smooth transitions between places, with private transfers and VIP support throughout. These 14-19 day journeys give you space to appreciate each stop while enjoying excellent meals, premium lodging and also carefully selected cultural experiences.

Top Ecuador and Peru travel itineraries to fit your plans
With 14 days, you can really get to know what makes these places tick. Lima kicks things off with proper local food - you'll try fresh ceviche, sip pisco sours and wander through the historic streets. The flight to Cusco comes with time to adjust to the height while checking out Inca sites like Sacsayhuaman. The Sacred Valley portion is a highlight for our travelers because there's enough time to both explore ancient ruins and spend quality time in local villages. You'll get 4-5 solid days in the Galapagos, hopping between islands - maybe watching marine iguanas on Fernandina one day and tracking rare Darwin's finches on Española the next. Some trips include special touches like swimming with sea lions at La Lobería or climbing Bartolomé Island for that perfect Pinnacle Rock photo. Having two weeks means you can fit in Rainbow Mountain's mineral-striped hillsides and take your time watching giant tortoises roam their natural territory.

Demographics
Our Amazon and Ancient Cultures route from Quito to La Paz works really well for solo travelers - you'll get to know South America's heart while joining a small group that often becomes like family. The Quichua families in Shandia show you how to make chocolate and share their deep knowledge of jungle plants. In Baños, you can mix up your days between horseback rides through mountain paths and getting your adrenaline going with canyoning. Many of our solo guests tell us they love heading to Mancora afterwards, where the surf lessons and beachfront yoga help balance out the earlier activities. When you're exploring Cuenca's old town or checking out craft markets, you've got the perfect mix of guided time and space to yourself. What we hear most often is how worried people were about traveling alone, but the tour setup helped them make real friends while keeping their independence.
Our Lima to Rio journey hits all the right notes for couples wanting refined South American experiences. You'll start with some really special dining spots showcasing creative Peruvian dishes before heading up to the Sacred Valley. There, local experts show you traditional weaving methods that have been passed down for generations. The Vistadome train to Machu Picchu gives you amazing valley views, and our guides make Incan history come alive. We've balanced cultural immersion with comfort - you'll take part in traditional blessing ceremonies and visit ancient salt mines while staying in elegant hotels each night. As you continue through Chilean wine country, Argentina's tango scene and also Iguassu Falls, couples tell us they love how we handle all the complex logistics while leaving room for those private moments.
Our Galapagos and Inca Trail combo really shines for young travelers who want to stay active. You'll snorkel right next to curious sea lions at San Cristobal, hike up Sierra Negra's volcanic slopes and learn to cook proper Ecuadorian dishes from local chefs. The days mix kayaking between islands, spotting blue-footed boobies and preparing for the classic Inca Trail trek. Our younger guests love how the physical challenges blend with cultural experiences - you might watch condors glide over Colca Canyon in the morning and end up sampling Cusco's craft beer scene that night. After completing Machu Picchu, there's plenty of time to join cooking classes, explore local markets and also check out some popular clubs in town.
Our combination of mainland highlights and Galapagos cruising works perfectly for senior travelers. Starting in Lima, you'll discover colonial buildings and food traditions before flying to Cusco, where we've planned the schedule to let you adjust to the altitude properly. Comfortable trains link the Sacred Valley sites, and our experts share detailed Incan history at Machu Picchu without rushing. The small cruise ships in the Galapagos give you great views of giant tortoises, marine iguanas and also diverse birds without needing strenuous walks. What makes this work so well for our senior guests is the two-night stays in key places, different activity options and naturalist guides who really bring the islands' unique ecosystem to life through their stories.
