Hi everyone! We depart April 2nd and I am deep in packing mode - which apparently means I'm in the "pack everything just in case" stage. 😄 To the experienced travelers on this trip: please help me fill in the blank with something other than "Less" — because I know that's coming! A few things I've already acted on from this…
I am going on this trip in September 2026. I would love if anyone has completed this trip, could you tell me if there were lots of mosquitos in the Sacred Valley. Did anyone going on this trip get the Yellow Fever vaccination? I have an elevated risk to take the vaccine and I would appreciate any input from fellow…
We are going on the hidden Galapagos/Peru trip in April 2026. I've been watching many You Tube Videos on the area and one specifically on the Silver Orgin albeit not a Tauck trip. I noticed in the videos that some but not all people had a single walking stick. Does every one who wants a stick get a stick? The video also…
Does anyone have information regarding scuba diving during the Galapagos portion of the tour?
We’re excited to be heading on our Hidden Galapagos and Peru trip in a few days. We received our Tauck duffel bags for the night in Machu Picchu. I understand our big suitcases go to Cusco ahead of us. Do we bring our usual carry on case with us and the duffel for that night or only the duffel? Also, any thoughts on which…
Has anyone taken a camelback on your trip to Machu Picchu & Galapagos? Is it practical to fill with bottled water rather than carrying around the water bottle?
I’m scheduled to take the Hidden Galapagos & Peru trip in May. For those who have been how difficult/strenuous are the steps at Machu Picchu? I understand there are very few handrails - can you touch the walls as you go up or down the steps? Are the steps tall steps like sometimes the first step getting on a bus or are…
I have been ok on smaller ships (Regent/Silversea) with my ginger capsules but I am concerned about the Silver Origin and the Zodiac boats. Am I likely to be sick; if so, I don't want to go. Additionally there is a Tauck waiver which talks about snake bites, drowning, hiking over uneven rocks and falling, etc. When I went…
We are looking at booking our flight back to the US from Guayaquil after our 2025 Hidden Galapagos and Peru trip. Our best flight out in terms of cost and a connection to Chicago is on American Airlines, and leaves Guayaquil for Miami at 6:30AM. With the recommended three hour prior to flight arrival we would need to leave…
We're booked for the Hidden Galapagos Tour in 2025 and I was wondering if the use of personal floatation vests is allowed for deep water snorkeling. I am not a strong swimmer but have enjoyed wonderful snorkeling in many locations while using a personal flotation vest - most recently at the great Barrier Reef. I can bring…
