Inca
Discoverer
La Paz to Quito
Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador
A six week trip that captures the
essence of the South American
Andes. Travelling from Bolivia’s almost-4-kilometre
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.
