Inca Discoverer

A 6-week trip that captures the essence of the South American Andes. Travelling from Bolivia's almost-4-mile high capital to Quito's capital situated close to the equator, discover the very essence of the Andes: the Inca empire around Cusco, the floating reed islands of Lake Titicaca, the shimmering-white colonial city of Arequipa. Heading north, we move on to the fabulous natural destination of Ecuador with its snow-capped volcanoes, verdant jungles and emerald rainforests which hide remote jungle lodges, an astounding array of flora and fauna, and fantastic outdoor activities.
