Tour Overview
The Inca Sites to Caribbean Coast: Peru and Colombia Tour includes the must-see destinations in two of Latin America’s amazing countries: Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu and Cartagena, ending in the amazing Tayrona National Park. The Park is an unspoiled region with white Caribbean beaches; solitary bays; coral reefs and mangroves all at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
Cartagena is one of the most fascinating cities in the Caribbean and was once the “Jewel of the Spanish Crown.” Experience the history of pirate assaults, the workings of the dreaded Tribunal of the Inquisition, and imagine the stories of the writer Gabriel Marquez. Cartagena is known for its friendly, diverse people, architectural beauty, stunning Caribbean coast and the warm evening winds. Note: The beaches are not spectacular in Cartagena, and we recommend adding a few days on an island to enjoy a truly breathtaking Caribbean beach.
Recently, following UNESCO recommendations, Peruvian authorities have placed restrictions on the visitation of Machu Picchu, the lost Incan ruins. Currently, no more than 2,500 people daily will be allowed to visit the ruins. While these new restrictions are great for the preservation of the ruins, they may cause some difficulties in your ability to visit them, so we recommend booking with plenty of notice.

It was associated with the earth cult revolving around the coca leaf, which was a privilege of the Inca royal family and priests.

John and I had a fabulous time on the trip you planned for us in Peru and Ecuador.
John and I had a fabulous time on the trip you planned for us in Peru and Ecuador.You planned every part of our trip down to the last detail, and we are happy to report that all went as planned! We were met at every flight by the guides who did an excellent job of teaching us about the areas we were visiting.They made each day interesting and fun. All of our accommodations were excellent, we especially appreciated the splash pool in our cabana at Inkaterra Amazonica. The weather there was very hot and humid, so being able to cool off in our private pool was a luxury! The one day hike into Machu Picchu was perfect. It gave us a taste of what hiking the Inka Trail was like. For us, it was a great alternative to hiking 4 or more days. We were able to see so many other places to add to our experience, without adding too many more days to our trip.

The trip was great! Thank you
I have been meaning to write, but have been so busy now that I am back to work. The trip was great! Thank you. I had no troubles. I loved Bolivia-wished I had stayed there longer. My guide, Marco, was wonderful there. I enjoyed Peru very much, too. Especially Cusco. The people at there were really excellent. Very helpful and reliable. When my flight from Lima to Cusco was canceled, my guide Elena came back to the airport to look for me and assist me. I was very impressed with that. Already thinking of my next trip, but of course I will need to save money and time off from work again. Thanks to everyone at Yampu,
