If you know your South American geography well, you may be thinking….visit Machu Picchu from a cruise? Impossible! Machu Picchu is located over 300 miles inland from the major coastal city of Lima, Peru. However, during one of the aforementioned Galapagos cruises we offer, you can change your Galapagos cruise into an all-inclusive vacation that takes you around the Galapagos Islands by ship and then escorts you to Peru for a land-based part of your trip that visits the mesmerizing Machu Picchu.
Machu Picchu is an archaeological site that was discovered in the early 1900s and consists of the well-preserved ruins of an ancient Incan civilization. The ruins are believed to date back to the 1400s, and the fact that they are nestled deep within the Andes mountains makes it even more of a marvel to think about how people lived there thousands of years ago.
