TRIP HIGHLIGHTS

WHERE?• LAKE TITICACA - According to legend, the Sun, as well as the pre-Inca god, Viracocha, rose from its depths. The Incas amended the legend to suit their purposes. They contended that on Titicaca Island, following rains that flooded the earth, the sun placed his male and female children and instructed them to teach the barbarians who dwelt on the earth. Titicaca Island or Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun) is our destination. We will spend time wandering among the ancient ruins hidden in the folds of the steeply terraced slopes of Pilkokaina, Stairway of Yumani...

• LA PAZ - A city for both enriching visits and adventurous discoveries. Lose yourselves in streets brimming with life, where neighbors, artisans and sorcerers rub elbows amidst the daily agitation of typical markets. La Paz’s outskirts also offer an array of spectacular sites, such as eerie rock sculptures created from ancient erosion at the Valley of the Moon.

• UYUNI SALT FLATS - Four-wheel-drive expedition across the breathtaking landscapes of salt pans at Salar de Uyuni and multi-colored deserts of the Sud Lipez region, in the remote southern Bolivian Andes.

• LAGUNA COLORADA, LAGUNA VERDE - The gems of South America’s Central Andes offer stunning sceneries and world-class, off-road adventure filled with the daily drama of wildlife in some of the most hidden corners of our world.
