Peru and Galápagos Escape
National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions · National Geographic Islander II, National Geographic Gemini · 11 days
Day 1: Arrive in Lima, Peru's thriving capital, and transfer to the convenient Wyndham Grand Costa Del Sol Lima Airport hotel, located at the airport. Most international flights arrive in the late evening. Opt to arrive early for a Lima pre-voyage extension staying at the iconic Country Club Lima Hotel. The extension adds just a day to the expedition and gives you a chance to rest, relax, and see this UNESCO World Heritage-designated city. Day 2: Fly to Cusco this morning and transfer down into the Sacred Valley to Písac, known for its market and the archaeological site that rises above the town. After lunch, continue through the Sacred Valley and check into the Tambo del Inka, your hotel…
