South America

South America is a beautiful place to spend a holiday. It is home to the Andes Mountains, Amazon Rainforest, Lake Titicaca and Machu Picchu.

About Machu Picchu:

The Inca Trail is widely regarded as one of the top ten treks of the world, for its combination of Inca ruins, high passes, snow-capped mountains and ever changing ecosystems. As we hike you will learn about its history, flora and fauna with the help of expert guides. Four days later, having walked 28 miles (40 km) and crossed passes up to 4200m you will reach the climax of this sacred pilgrimage, the wonderful Machu Picchu.

About Amazon:

The Peruvian Amazon jungle is one of the most biologically diverse areas on Earth. Most species have probably still not been discovered, or adequately studied. As a nation, Peru has the largest number of bird species in the world and the third largest number of mammals; 44 percent of birds and 63 percent of the mammals inhabit the Peruvian Amazon. Peru also has a very high number of species of butterflies, orchids, and other organisms.

You will be amazed by the qualities of it's plants, from which most of our medicines originated and from which most of the cures we desperately seek will be found if we don't destroy it first. Each evening there will be some form of nocturnal activities. Night walks (optional for those who don't want to look for Tarantulas and other creepy crawlies), Cayman spotting when conditions are optimal. And it's possible, that your favorite memory of the Jungle will be the delicious meals, combining international & local cuisine, carefully prepared with fresh, high quality ingredients.

About Lake Titicaca:

Lake Titicaca is a lake in the Andes on the border of Peru and Bolivia. It is often called the highest navigable lake in the world, with a surface elevation of 12,507 ft. Titicaca is notable for a population of people who live on the Uros, a group of 44 or so artificial islands made of floating reeds (totora, a reed that abounds in the shallows of the lake). These islands have become a major tourist attraction for Peru, drawing excursions from the lakeside city of Puno. Their original purpose was defensive, and they could be moved if a threat arose. Many of the islands contain watchtowers largely constructed of reeds.
