   Machu Picchu is a fifteenth-century Incan citadel set high in Peru's Andes Mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of extraordinary archaeological and spiritual significance. Visitors should not miss the sunrise panorama from the Sun Gate and a guided exploration of the Intihuatana stone and Temple of the Sun, followed by a journey to Lake Titicaca near Puno. The optimal season to visit is May through September — Peru's dry winter — when clear skies unveil the full drama of the surrounding peaks and cloud forest.

4. Day 4

   Galapagos Islands

   

   The Galápagos Islands is a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. It's considered one of the world's foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing. A province of Ecuador, it lies about 1,000km off its coast. Its isolated terrain shelters a diversity of plant and animal species, many found nowhere else. Charles Darwin visited in 1835, and his observation of Galápagos' species later inspired his theory of evolution

5. Day 5

   Cusco

   Peru

   

   Cusco is the ancient Inca capital at 3,400 metres in the Peruvian Andes, where massive pre-Columbian stonework supports Spanish colonial churches in a UNESCO World Heritage cityscape. Must-dos include exploring the Plaza de Armas and its cathedral, tasting cuy and alpaca at the San Pedro Market, and visiting Machu Picchu in the Sacred Valley. May through October's dry season offers clear skies and the best conditions for trekking and exploration.

7. Day 7

   Guayaquil

   Ecuador

   

   Ecuador's largest city and Pacific gateway, Guayaquil has reinvented its historic waterfront with the celebrated Malecón 2000, a sweeping riverside promenade where museums, gardens, and spectacular views of the Guayas River coexist with the energy of a genuinely ambitious city. The historic Las Peñas neighbourhood, its painted wooden houses climbing a hillside crowned by the Cerro Santa Ana lighthouse, offers the most atmospheric corner of the old city. As the embarkation point for most Galápagos expeditions, Guayaquil rewards a day or two of exploration before the archipelago's more famous wonders. The dry season — May through December — is the preferred window for visiting the coast.
