Holidays to Inspire You

Birthplace of the Incas

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the historic wonders and captivating landscapes of Peru and Bolivia. From the colonial charms of Lima to the mystical ruins of Machu Picchu, immerse yourself in a world steeped in ancient Inca heritage. Continue to the majestic Lake Titicaca, exploring unique floating islands, and cross into Bolivia to discover the vibrant town of Copacabana and the birthplace of the Inca Empire. Conclude your adventure amidst the bustling streets and dramatic landscapes of La Paz. This isn’t just a trip, but a life-enriching experience, offering a profound exploration of these two countries’ rich histories, diverse cultures, and breathtaking beauty.

Galapagos Islands Expedition Cruise

Dive into an enchanting blend of history, nature, and evolution on an incredible adventure that takes you from the charming city of Quito to the iconic Galápagos Islands.

Start your journey in Quito, a World Heritage city nestled high in the Andes, known for its Spanish-era architecture, inviting eateries, and quaint artisanal shops. You’ll then trek to an active volcano, walk through breathtaking landscapes, and soak up the colors and buzz of a traditional open-air market.

The journey then catapults you into the cradle of evolution – the Galápagos Islands, where Darwin formulated his revolutionary theories.

Traverse islands teeming with unique wildlife and diverse ecosystems, from the central Santa Cruz and volcanic Fernandina, to the Darwin-visited Isabela and Floreana, and the picturesque Genovesa. Prepare for encounters with sea lions, giant tortoises, flamingos, and Darwin’s Finches.

This adventure is more than a trip; it’s a passage through time and life itself.

Client Journal: Napo Wildlife Center in the Ecuadorian Amazon

“…we flew (with 150 others) for 25 exhilarating minutes over the Andes to Coca, the main ‘city’ of 45,000 people in the Amazon Basin. There we met Delpine, our Kiwcha-born, Quito then Minnesota-educated, polished English-speaking expert on all forms of wildlife and vegetation of the region. As he said this evening over dinner, “I grew up surrounded by all the wildlife you will see and ask questions about”. As we drove through Coca, he explained that 85% of Ecuador’s economy is based around oil discovered in … the Amazon Basin, and Coca has grown in size to house the thousands of support people in that industry. He suggested that …”

"Delighted with the service we received from Ron at Spirit of Travel. He made it really easy to book our trip to Europe and worked patiently with us as we explored various options. His experience and insight into the travel industry got us a great deal and everything sorted in good time!"

"...can confidently recommend anyone to contact Ron Montgomery at Spirit of Travel, and discuss your travel aspirations. Out of these chats will come a plan that includes everything you wished. We began with Ron 5 years ago when we randomly approached him as a travel agent, and gave him a wish list for a potential 3 week trip to Borneo, a bucket list destination. There were no 'off the shelf' touristy packages that included everything, so Ron used his contacts and considerable people skills to put together exactly what we wanted."

"Ron is excellent at making sure he gets to know you first, understands exactly what it is you are looking for and "how" you like to travel. The trips he put together for us were both amazing and exceeded our expectations."

“My time in India was fundamentally life changing, and it shook me to the core as no previous destination had. The rich sensory overload of colour, smell, sound in the city streets was thrilling and challenging at the same time. I also loved the people that I met. I was welcomed into homes, and they took such pride in sharing their heritage. I’m never ready to end a holiday, but the flight departing India was the hardest to board yet. I’ll be back!”
