Galapagos Islands Luxury Cruises: Explore Nature in Comfort 14 Oct 2:25 AM (8 days ago)

Ecuador is all about mountain majesty and captivating cultures, as say Lonely Planet.

Ecuador, situated in northwestern South America, is a nation of unparalleled natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and historical significance. Despite its relatively modest size, Ecuador encompasses a vast spectrum of landscapes and experiences, making it an enticing destination for travelers seeking adventure, exploration, and cultural immersion.

From its majestic volcanoes and stunning mountains to the enigmatic Amazon rainforest, bountiful coastal regions, and the legendary Galapagos Islands, Ecuador has something to offer every traveler.

To explore nature in comfort, we are here to help you in all your high-end needs.

According to Britanica.com: Ecuador is one of the most environmentally diverse countries in the world, and it has contributed notably to the environmental sciences. The first scientific expedition to measure the circumference of Earth, led by Charles-Marie de La Condamine of France, was based in Ecuador. Moreover, research in Ecuador by the renowned naturalists Alexander von Humboldt of Prussia and Charles Darwin of England helped establish basic theories of modern geography, ecology, and evolutionary biology. Ecuador has a rich cultural heritage. Much of what is now Ecuador came to be included in the Inca empire, the largest political unit of pre-Columbian America.

Also, and according to National Geographic: Ecuador is roughly the size of Colorado and is bordered by Colombia and Peru. The high Andes Mountains form the backbone of the country. Cotopaxi in the Andes is the highest active volcano in the world.

The Galápagos Islands, 596 miles (960 kilometers) west of the mainland of Ecuador are part of Ecuador and are home to unique reptiles, birds, and plants. The Costa, or coastal plain region is where many of the world’s bananas are grown. The Sierra is also made up of farmland. The Oriente is east of the Andes and is rich in oil.

Beautiful places, memorable experiences, incredible people

Many of South America’s greatest hits can be found in Ecuador, from Andean peaks and the Amazon to tropical beaches, Inca ruins and the wonders of the Galápagos Islands. Also, Ecuador’s population mirrors its rich ethnic diversity, encompassing indigenous mountain communities, Afro-Ecuadorians along the coast, and tribal groups in the Amazon rainforest. What remains constant across this cultural mosaic is the genuine warmth, kindness, and hospitality of its people. But, let’s start with the destinations:

The Galapagos Islands

Are located about 851 miles off the Ecuadorian coast. The Galapagos Islands are an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean famed for their unique wildlife.

The islands are very isolated, meaning that the wildlife evolved with no outside influence. The archipelago was crucial to Charles Darwin’s development of the theory of evolution. You don’t have to be the next Darwin or even a scientist to get the most out of the Galapagos. It’s enough to appreciate the opportunity to get up close to giant tortoises, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and over a dozen other species that only live on the Galapagos Islands.

The Galapagos Islands are now home to a small airport connecting the archipelago to the mainland, so it’s an easy trip to make. You can also take an organized group trip to learn the most about the islands’ biodiversity and unique volcanic landscapes.

More of Galapagos

According to Quasar portal: When it’s finally time for the luxury Galapagos cruise you’ve been dreaming of, you deserve to experience the islands as an adventurer—not a tourist. You’re ready to discover breathtaking landscapes, have up-close encounters with rare wildlife, dive into the marine world, and relax in accommodations as unique as the islands. Tour buses won’t cut it. You’re looking for full access to the island’s hidden gems.

A small-ship luxury Galapagos cruise goes beyond checking this incredible destination off your bucket list. Our boutique style of travel lets you experience the islands the way Darwin did: away from the crowds, with freedom to explore your way.

Our Commitment to the Environment and the Inca Trail Regulations 3 Feb 9:15 PM (8 months ago)

At View South America, we believe that every journey is an opportunity to protect Peru’s natural and cultural heritage. That’s why we actively minimize our impact on the environment and strictly adhere to the Inca Trail regulations (RCI – Reglamento del Camino Inca).

How we protect the environment

Waste management with Eco Porters:
We assign a dedicated Eco Porter on each trek to oversee proper waste segregation according to the updated Peruvian guidelines (2024–2025). We use color-coded bags — green for recyclables, brown for organic waste, black for non-recyclables, and red for hazardous waste — and ensure everything is carried out of the trail.
Reducing single-use plastics:
We promote reusable bottles, lunch kits, and cloth bags across all our trips.
Protecting wildlife and native flora:
We guide travelers to stay on official paths, avoid disturbing wildlife, and never pick plants or flowers, preserving delicate ecosystems.
Supporting local communities:
By working with skilled local guides, porters, and suppliers, we contribute to the region’s sustainable development.

The traveler’s responsibility: respecting the Inca Trail regulations

As part of the official Inca Trail regulations, every traveler shares in protecting this sacred route. When you join one of our treks, you agree to:

✅ Stay on marked trails to avoid damaging fragile vegetation and archaeological sites.
✅ Carry out all waste, following our Eco Porter’s instructions on separating your trash.
✅ Use designated campsites and facilities only.
✅ Respect wildlife by not feeding or approaching animals.
✅ Keep noise to a minimum, maintaining the serenity of this living heritage.

This collective effort ensures that the Inca Trail remains pristine for generations to come.

Why choose us for your Inca Trail adventure?

The Inca Trail regulations exist to protect one of the world’s most extraordinary trekking routes. At View South America, we meet — and often exceed — these standards, combining comfort with profound respect for nature, culture, and local communities.

Travel with purpose

Join us and become part of a journey that safeguards the Andes while uncovering its breathtaking landscapes and ancient stories.

Discovering the Inca Trails: Geography, Natural Challenges, and Responsible Travel 1 Jan 9:13 PM (9 months ago)

The Inca Trails are more than just a network of ancient stone pathways leading to Machu Picchu. They are living corridors of history, biodiversity, and breathtaking Andean landscapes. Traversing these routes is an unforgettable experience, but it is important to understand their geographical features and the inherent natural risks to ensure a safe and respectful journey.

Geographic features of the Inca Trails

High-altitude terrain: The classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu stretches approximately 42 kilometers (26 miles) and reaches altitudes up to 4,215 meters (13,828 feet) at Dead Woman’s Pass. Other routes, like Salkantay, can exceed 4,600 meters (15,100 feet).
Diverse ecosystems: As you hike, you traverse multiple ecological zones—from high Andean grasslands (puna) to cloud forests (yungas). This dramatic change in altitude means experiencing varied climates, flora, and fauna within a short distance.
Steep stone steps and narrow paths: The trails include original Inca stairways, many over 500 years old. These can be steep, uneven, and slippery, especially after rainfall.
Remote landscapes: Several parts of the Inca Trail are far from roads or modern infrastructure. This isolation adds to the magic, but also demands proper preparation and support.

Natural risks and considerations

Altitude sickness (soroche): Reduced oxygen levels above 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) can lead to headaches, nausea, and fatigue. The risk increases with rapid ascent and dehydration.
Variable weather: The Andean climate can change quickly—from bright sun to cold rain within minutes. Temperatures can drop below freezing at night in higher campsites.
Slippery or loose terrain: During the rainy season (November to March), trails may become muddy and more prone to small landslides or rockfalls.
Wildlife encounters: While generally safe, it is possible to encounter insects, small mammals, and occasionally larger wildlife like spectacled bears (highly elusive).

Why travel with a responsible operator

Choosing a certified operator is essential to minimize risks and maximize enjoyment. At View South America, we prioritize:

Proper acclimatization and safety protocols, including oxygen, first aid, and satellite communication.
Sustainable practices, respecting the environment and supporting local communities.
Well-trained guides and an Eco Porter system, ensuring waste is managed according to the latest regulations (including the 2024–2025 updates on waste segregation).

A journey worth preparing for

Walking the Inca Trails is not just a hike—it’s a deep dive into Andean culture, history, and natural wonders. Understanding the geography and potential risks helps travelers appreciate the privilege of treading these ancient paths responsibly.

Contact us to learn more about how we create safe, tailored experiences along the Inca Trails, blending comfort with profound respect for this extraordinary heritage.

The Best Luxury Hotels in Bolivia: Comfort in the Heights 18 Dec 2024 1:00 AM (10 months ago)

Bolivia is not just another country, it is a country full of traditions, extremely cultural and with so much charm that we cannot finish describing it.

Bolivia is one of those incredible destinations that you will discover. Bolivia is a real undiscovered gem. As beautiful as one can imagine; as traditional, as popular, as enigmatic one can explain so many indescribable places with so many differences while

Bolivia has such special and spectacular places to be visited and discovered; its economical capital, La Paz as indigenous and modern. Sucre, its constitutional capital, is traditional and conservative. Santa Cruz, very cosmopolitan and legendary with the Jesuit missions that are a must, and more, much more as the Uyuni Salt Desert & Lagoons, as unimaginable as spectacular Bolivia is one of those incredible destinations that you will discover.

Bolivia is a real undiscovered gem. As beautiful as one can imagine; as traditional, as popular, as enigmatic one can explain so many indescribable places with so many differences while

La Paz

The city of contrasts, both geographically and culturally. Topographically, La Paz has a breathtaking setting and views. It is located at the bottom of a majestic three-peaked snow-capped mountain, Illimani, which provides a dramatic backdrop. It belongs to the same scenic group as Rio, Cape Town, San Francisco and Hong Kong.

The multicultural and multiethnic contrast is also fascinating. In no other capital city in Latin America are there so many differences among its inhabitants, from the indigenous to the eastern Bolivian, contrasting in everything from clothing to lifestyle.

In December 2014, La Paz was named one of the “7 New Wonder Cities of the World”.

Like all capital cities of every country, La Paz has spectacular distractions such as the funiculars that surround the city; there are about 5 routes that cover and from where you can see La Paz from the top; it is really incredible.

It also has hotels of great comfort and luxury that will make your visit the dream one. Among the very elegant hotels, we have:

In the southern zone: Casa Grande hotel & Suites, Atix, Mitru, Camino Real, Met and others.

Casa Grande Hotel & Suites are hotels full of charm and details. Met, Atix and Mitru are more modern hotels, perhaps for younger travelers

Suites Camino Real is a more traditional hotel, just as elegant and glamorous.

In the downtown you can mention the hotel Stanum, very modern and at the forefront of technology. One could also mention the legendary Hotel Presidente, which had 5 stars in its time, but then lost interest perhaps because it was located in the center of the city.

Sucre

It is the historic capital of Bolivia. Declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Sucre’s colonial architecture is a reminder of the history, culture and traditions that have thrived in this city and have influenced a wide region of South America. To this day, all buildings in the center of the city are and should be painted white.

Near the city, there are two places worth visiting: Cal Orcko, the largest cliff of fossilized dinosaur footprints in the world, and the town of Tarabuco, the most colorful and authentic native Sunday market in Bolivia.

The constitutional capital of Bolivia does not have a wide variety of hotels; however, we can mention the Parador Santa Maria, a very nice and traditional hotel

Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz de la Sierra [Holy Cross of the Mountain Range’), commonly known as Santa Cruz, is the largest city in Bolivia and the capital of the Santa Cruz department.

Santa Cruz is Bolivia’s most populous city, produces nearly 35% of Bolivia’s gross domestic product, and receives over 40% of all foreign direct investment in the country. The city is the most important business center in Bolivia and the country’s principal destination for national and international migrants.

The main principal attractions are; Biocentro Güembé; Samaipata. Catedral de Santa Cruz. Jardin de las Delicias. Kaa-Iya National Park. National Parks.

Among the luxury hotels with great charm are: Marriott Santa Cruz, Swissotel, Cortez, Novotel, Camino Real, Los Tajibos and Alfonsina Boutique Hotel.

Uyuni

One of the most incredible natural phenomena in the world. The largest and highest salt flat in the world. It resembles a stunning, overwhelming and lonely white ocean; bright blue skies contrast with the blinding white salt crust. In the rainy season (December to March) the entire salt flat is covered with a layer of water that provides a surreal visual experience.

Among the hotels, we find three with great charm, made of salt and located in the town of Colchani, on the shores of the Salar: Luna Salada and Palacio de Sal

It refers to a type of luxury camping where people can enjoy the outdoors in comfort and style.

Once the capital of the mighty Inca Empire, Cusco (also spelled Cuzco) holds a unique charm that’s hard to put into words. Exquisite churches, fantastic museums, and narrow cobbled streets in the historic center merit at least a few days’ worth of exploration.

Cusco has parties all year long. You can see the traditions in parades and parties celebrated throughout the city very often. The biggest one is the Inti Raymi fiesta on the 24th of June. But you will see processions, parades and parties every week. Especially around the Plaza de Armas, the main square in the city center, every week (and many times several times per week) something is going on! Cusco has a very interesting nightlife and is famous for it by travelers. You can go out seven nights a week and find discos, bars with live music, happy hours and parties. It goes on all night and it is always busy. If you like to go out, Cusco is your city!

If you go to a restaurant, you can choose everything from Peruvian food to international food and within all price ranges. Cusco has a very diverse offer in everything that has to do with food.
