Vacation in the Inca Kingdoms of Peru and Ecuador

Adventure trip in Peru – "The Land of the Sun" encompasses the essence of America, the "New World," both in terms of geography and the mix of indigenous and European cultures. It is a land of ancient civilizations, where the traditional "lifestyle" of the indigenous peoples is still valid. With great geographical contrasts and perhaps the greatest treasure of America. In their ruthless search for gold, the Spanish conquerors missed the most elusive treasure, the "Lost City of the Incas." Besides the impressive Inca ruins in Cusco and the "lost city" Machu Picchu, you will also find in Peru the famous Nazca Lines and the Chulpa tombs at Lake Titicaca, witnesses of the bloody Spanish crusade. With its stunning variety of landscapes, Peru is among the most spectacular countries in the world. Ecuador – Today, most people immediately think of the Galápagos Islands when they think of Ecuador, but the country has so much more to offer: Not far from the colonial capital Quito rise some of the highest active volcanoes in the world. In the Andes, indigenous people gather at colorful markets, and palm-lined beaches on the Pacific provide welcome relaxation after a journey through the Amazon rainforest. Ecuador, often hailed as the most diverse country in South America, unites three landscapes over an area of 272,000 km²: the coast in the west, the Sierra running from north to south in the middle, and the Amazon lowlands in the east, the Oriente. Additionally, this Andean country has an immense diversity of population groups, consisting of various indigenous groups from the highlands and the Amazon region, mestizos, Afro-Americans, and "whites." The republic chose its name at the beginning of the 19th century due to the equator running through the center of the country – a geographical feature that for a long time was the only significance Ecuador had for the rest of the world. This tour is not a private trip, but is conducted as a group tour.
