- AVirginia· May 29th, 2023I was so blown away by Machu Picchu - it far exceeded my expectations. It was nice to spend a few days in Cusco first to learn more of the history and experience the Andes before moving to the jungle area of Machu Picchu. The whole Peru segment was magical.Show moreTrip date: May 2023Review collected by Explore!

- ASue· June 5th, 2023*Cusco. *Arriving to see the classic National Geographic view of Machu Picchu and a tour of the ruins. *Galapagos. All of it, but especially the snorkelling trips. Seeing large green back turtles in the wild, being eyeballed by a sea lion who came over to see what sort of fish I might be, watching pelicans fish in the shallows, blue footed boobies on the cliffs.Show moreTrip date: May 2023Review collected by Explore!
