This epic journey leads us from Peruvian coast, across deserts, and through high mountain passes. En route, we'll discover the Nazca Lines and go in search of condors at Colca Canyon. We'll hike the legendary Inca Trail to discover the fabled citadel of Machu Picchu, and enjoy the fabulous town of Cusco. Heading across the altiplano, we sail across Lake Titicaca's cobalt blue waters. Continuing south, we enjoy a trip out onto the Salt Flats, then descend into Argentina where we'll travel parallel with the great Andean range. Our last stop in Argentina is the laid back city of Mendoza, surrounded by many fine vineyards. One last mountain crossing brings us to Santiago, where we'll round off our journey.
