    Almost too many to list! It felt like two holidays with machu Piccu followed by the Galapagos .. For Peru it was - The sacred valley and the trip to Machu Piccu itself - The food throughout was excellent - Cusco was a fabulous city - and the people lovely For The Galapagos - Snorkelling - the turtles, penguins and sea lions who joined you - The animals - tortoises, pelicans, iguanas and birds galore - Final highlight was seeing a pod of over 100 dolphins playing around our boat.
