South America specialists, Tucan Travel, have launched four group tours combining the highlights of mainland South America along with a four night cruise through the Galapagos Islands.
The adventure travel tour operator have always been known for their modular tours, where customers have been able to combine itineraries together, however this is the first time where they have added the Galapagos Islands to itineraries in mainland South America.
Latin America Destination Manager Rolf Stanley was quoted “We are very excited to be able to give travellers more options in South America. The Galapagos Islands, along with Machu Picchu tend to be 'must-sees' for people visiting the region, so these itineraries will appeal to anyone wanting to tick the highlights off their list”
