What is GENESIS OF THE ANDEAN CULTURE?

Tiwanaku & Lake Titicaca <> Cusco & Machu Picchu
all in one exclusive package

The commonality Bolivia shares with Peru, besides the Andes mountain range and the Sacred Lake Titikaka, is its rich indigenous Indian heritage and its colorful Spanish era. Our special itinerary will introduce you to the unique, authentic cultures of the Andes.

In this customizable, one-week itinerary, we will travel from La Paz and its lively Indian markets, to Cuzco and MachuPicchu.

First we will explore the ancient pre-Inca ruins of Tiwanaku (also spelled Tiahuanacu), and to the shores of the Sacred Lake Titikaka.
There we will visit the Island of the Sun, cradle of the Inca empire, as well as the Floating Islands of the Urus near Puno, meet with Yatiri Wisemen and Totora Reed Boat Builders.
Then we will travel from Puno to Cuzco by the traditional Andean Train.

You will learn about their ancestry, including the great Indian empires of the Aymara and Quechua tribes, and their past and present relationship with Spanish descendants.
Once in Cusco we will explore the administrative center of the Inca empire and its surroundings, including the Sacred Valley, and the Indian market place of Pisaq.
Experience a journey to sites where the boundaries of archaeological knowledge are being tested and pushed ever outward. We offer you adventure, education, camaraderie and a new understanding of the Andean cultures.
The breathtaking sanctuary of MachuPicchu awaits us, high in the rainforest, above the Indian village of Aguas Calientes. This will be a memorable experience — after a comprehensive visit to the well preserved archaeological site, you may choose to spend one night in a hotel by the side of the Inka ruins.
