Salt Lakes
Santiago to Lima
Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru
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.
