Ancient Peru and Macchu Picchu, January 2009
A twelve-day trip for 32 people led by Religious Studies faculty Andrew Flescher included four nights in Lima, four in Cusco, one in Machu Picchu, and one in Miami. So much great food, landscapes, art and archaeology, and history! The Sacred Valley of the Incas, pisco sours, fresh ceviche in lime, llamas up close, shopping for silver and baby alpaca, coca tea, dizzying heights, nine thousand kinds of potatoes, and the best rice pudding in the whole world—with superb and passionate local guides at every stop.
