Deciding where to go on vacation can be difficult as there are so many wonderful choices to be had. The range of options includes everything from relaxing days on a sunny beach, enjoying some fun in the snow, visiting national monuments and historical sites to amusement parks and much more. If looking for an incredible time, Machu Picchu and Galapagos tours are definitely something that should be considered.

These two locations are incredibly unique in their styling, filled with history and brimming with marvels. Travel agencies often feature packages that provide trips to both destinations including the amenities for the duration. Anyone taking this type of jaunt is sure to be awed and amazed and to make many wonderful memories.

As incredible as both places are, they really could not be more different. One is filled with the history of mankind and the wonders of their engineering skills and societal planning. The other is like its own little world with a diverse array of wildlife, unique climate and so much natural beauty and hidden places to explore.

The first takes visitors back to the 15th century to see the remains of an ancient Inca city that was practically unseen until it was discovered by an explorer in 1911. The structure sits on an Andean hilltop in the Cusco Region in Peru and looks out over the majestic Urabamba Valley. A set of historical preservation societies care for and preserve its condition and history.

The people of the ancient Inca civilization had a unique knowledge of how to set up a city that works well with the land's natural flow, as is demonstrated at this site. The temple, as the most important part of their society, sits at the apex of the hill with the people residing on the slope just below. The fields take up the lowest regions, taking advantage of the terrain's slant and aqueducts to deliver water to the crops.

An Archipelago housing some of the world's most interesting creatures and equally fascinating weather conditions, is the second destination in this package. Sitting out in the Pacific Ocean, on the equator, near Ecuador, the group of nineteen islands and more than two dozen surrounding islets consist almost exclusively of volcanic rock. The combination of location based factors creates some truly fascinating results.

Among the amazing sites to see there are the incredible rock towers, the inland lagoons, remotely located mangroves, dramatic cliffs, impressive lava flows, volcanoes and coastlines teaming with activity. Visitors often enjoy visiting the secret pirate hideouts and caves, or scuba diving along the coral reefs and exploring the submerged craters that are abundant with interesting marine life. The islands are famous for their unique wildlife which includes giant tortoises, sea turtles, the world's only marine iguanas, boobies, whales, fur seals and so many more remarkable animal species

The potential for a lifetime of treasured memories is abundant in a vacation with two such marvelous destinations. Both give visitors a bevy of beautiful sites, great allure and charm as well as a look back in history, but they still manage to be completely unique from one another It is a creative combination that will provide much enjoyment.
