Adventure Canada has announced two brand-new trips for 2026, including a small-ship expedition through the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador and a land tour to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley in Peru.
On these new trips, Adventure Canada says guests can expect the same level of quality, care, and thought prevalent on all Adventure Canada expeditions, with new trips being led and hosted by long-time Adventure Canada expedition team members.
“We look to thoughtfully add itineraries to our selection of trips when we know that the experience our guests can have in new destinations will be exceptional, educational, meaningful, and our travel to those destinations will have a positive impact,” says Cedar Swan, CEO of Adventure Canada.
“We have certainly found that in The Galápagos and Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. We couldn’t be more thrilled to add these itineraries to our roster of fantastic trips.”
For a limited time only, the company is offering savings of 20% off the berth cost of the Galápagos expedition.
