WHAT ARE THE BEST SOUTH AMERICAN DESTINATIONS?

Our commitment to sustainable tourism allows you to explore this pristine ecosystem while minimizing environmental impact. Around the Galapagos Islands, you can stay at Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel, where you can find comfort, incredible spaces to relax, and many activities to enjoy. Whether you’re a hiker, diver, or snorkeler, the Enchanted Isles offers endless opportunities for adventure and discovery.

Biodiversity, adventure, gastronomy, and more await in this remarkable and dynamic country of incredible volcanoes, lush rainforests, beautiful coastlines, and everything. Ecuador is a country that offers visitors a unique blend of natural beauty, fascinating history, and vibrant culture. It is home to a rich indigenous culture, with traditional markets, festivals, and artisan communities that glimpse Ecuador’s vibrant heritage. Wander the winding streets of Quito’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and marvel at the stunning colonial-era buildings and Baroque churches. You can enjoy old town Quito at Casa Gangotena Boutique Hotel. Venture out to the nearby cloud forest for an unforgettable experience in the Chocó Bioregion, and you can explore more about biodiversity and natural relaxation at Mashpi Lodge. Hike the trails of the Cotopaxi National Park to see the tallest active volcano in the world. With a range of outdoor activities and delicious cuisine that reflects the country’s mix of indigenous and Spanish influences, Ecuador is a destination that will inspire and delight travelers of all kinds.

MACHU PICCHU

Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel atop a mountain ridge in southern Peru, standing 2,430 meters above sea level. Surrounded by a tropical mountain forest, it showcases the Inca Empire’s architectural brilliance and understanding of the natural landscape despite being constructed without mortar, metal tools, or wheels. Situated about 50 miles from Cusco, its purpose—whether a royal estate or a sacred site—remains a mystery since its discovery in 1911. Its well-preserved ruins attract scholars and tourists worldwide, drawn to its ancient mysteries and scenic beauty. Recognized as a World Heritage Site, Machu Picchu symbolizes the Inca civilization’s lasting legacy.

This trip exceeded our expectations! Excellent in all aspects! Our family of 11 ranged in age from 21-76. We booked directly through Metropolitan Touring, and it was fabulous. Our manager at La Pinta answered all the questions. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable. Our waiter took special care to deal with our family members with food allergies. Our cabin attendant took special care of our wet clothes and shoes.

This was one of the best trips we have ever taken. Everything was exceptional, from the booking process to the pickup/drop-offs to and from the airports. The crews on La Pinta and Mashpi were very knowledgeable; their service was exceptional. The food was terrific. The daily water and land activities were just fabulous and the highlight of the trip. I recommend Metropolitan Touring, who created the best-ever itinerary.

It was a superb trip with a helpful and friendly crew and a great food and everything aboard was very comfortable. Every day, We had opportunities to see unique wildlife in a small group. We also snorkeled most days and went on small boat trips, too. The naturalists were well-informed, entertaining, and caring and took a marvelous set of photos, which they sent us for free. The best way to see the Galapagos.
