South America, July & August 2019

Traveled to South America to visit the Galapagos Islands and Machu Picchu. Our trip started in Quito Ecuador where we stayed two nights before traveling to the Galapagos Islands. In Galapagos, we stayed on Santa Cruz Island two nights, visiting Seymour Island one day, and stayed on Isabela Island three nights, visiting both Cape Rose Tunnels and Sierra Negra Volcano. After leaving Galapagos, we stayed a night in Guayaquil Ecuador before heading to Peru. While in Peru, we saw the sights in Cusco, Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu before flying home.
