Home/Tours/Ecuador, Galapagos & Peru: From Quito to Machu Picchu
About This Tour
A 14-day journey opening with Quito and a five-day Galapagos circuit through Isabela and Santa Cruz, before crossing into Peru for Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain. This is a genuinely two-country trip: the first 7 days (6 nights) are in Ecuador and the Galapagos — Quito, then Isabela and Santa Cruz Islands — before the route crosses into Peru for the remaining 7 days (7 nights), covering Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain. Because it was sourced from Voyzo's Ecuador & Galapagos trip-ideas page, it's tagged under that destination here — but every night's hotel is confirmed in whichever country you're actually in that day.
