Essence of The Andes

From a beach camp at Puerto Inca on the Peruvian coast, climb high into the towering Andes at Arequipa, cross the Altiplano next to soaring condors and descend to the Indian village of San Pedro encircled by volcanoes. Along the way, discover the essence of the continent: the Inca heartland around Cuzco, the mysterious Nazca Lines, the shimmering salt lakes on the Bolivian-Chilean border and the star-studded night skies above the deserts of Chile.
