Awaken your sense of wonder during this trip north from Chile. From the attractive town of Mendoza, set in the shadow of the Andes, we head towards picturesque Cafayate, surrounded by vineyards offering wonderful opportunites for distinctive wine tasting. Salta, home of stunning plazas and churches, is the gateway to arid landscapes reminiscent of the moon, gold and rose coloured gorges and rock formations. Crossing into Bolivia, marvel at the stunning salt lakes and escape from the chill of La Paz to the Bolivian jungle at Rurrenabaque. Experience the cool breeze blowing across Lake Titicaca, then on to lively Cusco. Trek through the mountains to the magnificent citadel of Machu Picchu, discover the brilliant white city of Arequipa situated under the watchful gaze of Volcan Misti and cross the arid desert at Nazca before rolling into Lima.
