Detailed Itinerary DAY 1 10 Dec Fly Melbourne to Lima via Santiago After months of planning and preparation the long wait is finally over. Your flight today will take you from Melbourne to Lima via Sydney and Santiago. On arrival in Lima we will transfer to your city hotel and begin exploration of Lima. Tonight we will enjoy a welcome dinner. Overnight Lima Mia Flores Meals: D DAY 2 11 Dec Fly Lima to the Amazon After breakfast we transfer to the airport for the spectacular 55-minute flight across the Andes to Cusco. The aircraft then continues for a 35-minute flight due East to the Amazon town of Puerto Maldonado, a jungle frontier town. You will be met at the airport and transferred to the river. We leave most of our luggage in storage for our return and board a 10 metre open launch for a short river journey to our lodge. During this journey we relax, watch the river traffic and the riverbank where the jungle canopy holds abundant birdlife. Among the birds we may expect to see (dependent on weather and river height) are horned screamers, raptors, plovers, terns, macaws, parrots, kingfishers and toucans. Reaching the lodge is an adventure in itself. After arriving at the national park we walk to the nearby Sandoval Lake and travel by canoe across the pristine lake, where we are often investigated by the resident giant otters. The lodge is comfortable but rustic, and located in a beautiful jungle setting on the shores of Lake Sandoval. As well as being our jungle home, it also serves as a work-base for resident naturalists. The rainforest (both pristine primary and secondary growth forest) surrounding the lodge is a naturalist’s paradise. During the afternoon we walk with a naturalist guide along forest trails. After dinner we have a chance to relax and discuss with the naturalists the research projects taking place in the area. Serenaded by a chorus of jungle noises, we sleep in the lodge’s comfortable twin rooms. Overnight Sandoval Lake Jungle Lodge Meals: B,L,D DAY 3 12 Dec Amazon Jungle The Amazon is a fascinating and exciting destination. We venture on jungle walks searching for monkeys and capybaras, and take canoes onto Lake Sandoval. On these lakes we may find otters and other mammals, and many remarkable birds. In the evening we take a river trip to look for cayman by torch-light. Overnight Sandoval Lake Jungle Lodge Meals: B,L,D DAY 4 13 Dec Transfer by boat to Puerto Maldonado, fly to Cusco After an early breakfast we depart by canoe to meet our launch to Puerto Maldonado, and fly back to Cusco (3,400m). At Cusco airport you will be met by your guide, who will be with you for the balance of the trip. Today is a great day to rest to ensure a good acclimatization. This old Andean city holds superbly constructed Inca walls and the more architecturally extravagant colonial churches and palaces. Every alleyway we enter or corner we turn brings another surprise. Once capital of the extensive Inca Empire, Cusco has seen many changes since Francisco Pizarro’s men took the city 3 – © 2015 World Youth Adventures - Scott Pinnegar 3/13/2015 11:19:01 AM Geelong Grammar South America 2015 This private journey for Geelong Grammar combines a trek along the spectacular Inca Trail and time in the ancient city of Cusco and Sacred Valley with a exploration of the Amazon rainforrest.

    Lost Ancient Technology of Peru and Bolivia

    Lost Ancient Technology Of Peru And Bolivia Copyright Brien Foerster 2012 All photos in this book as well as text other than that of the author are assumed to be copyright free; obtained from internet free file sharing sites. Dedication To those that came before us and left a legacy in stone that we are trying to comprehend. Although many archaeologists don’t like people outside of their field “digging into the past” so to speak when conventional explanations don’t satisfy, I feel it is essential. If the engineering feats of the Ancient Ones cannot or indeed are not answered satisfactorily, if the age of these stone works don’t include consultation from geologists, and if the oral traditions of those that are supposedly descendants of the master builders are not taken into account, then the full story is not present. One of the best examples of this regards the great Sphinx of Egypt, dated by most Egyptologists at about 4500 years. It took the insight and questioning mind of John Anthony West, veteran student of the history of that great land to invite a geologist to study the weathering patterns of the Sphinx and make an estimate of when and how such degradation took place. In stepped Dr. Robert Schoch, PhD at Boston University, who claimed, and still holds to the theory that such an effect was the result of rain, which could have only occurred prior to the time when the Pharaoh, the presumed builders, had existed. And it has taken the keen observations of an engineer, Christopher Dunn, to look at the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau and develop a very potent theory that it was indeed not the tomb of an egotistical Egyptian ruler, as in Khufu, but an electrical power plant that functioned on a grand scale thousands of years before Khufu (also known as Cheops) was born.

    Climb the Highest Mountain in Africa…

    Trek the ancient Inca Trail in Peru to… Machu Picchu …for a trip of a life time! – 2022 Trip outline The Inca Trail is Peru's best known hike, combining a stunning combination of Inca ruins, magnificent mountains and exotic vegetation. The trail goes over high mountain passes with unforgettable views, through the rainforest, and finally into subtropical vegetation. The legendary Inca Trail takes you through the diverse wilderness of the Machu Picchu Historical Sanctuary, passing numerous Inca ruins on the magnificent stone highway before descending to the famed citadel of Machu Picchu. The 45 km trek is covered in 4 days, arriving at Machu Picchu at daybreak on the final day before returning to Cusco by train in the afternoon. The trek is rated moderate and any reasonably fit person will be able to cover the route. It is fairly challenging nevertheless, you will be carrying your own personal equipment (porters carry group equipment including tents, stoves and food etc…) and altitudes of 4200m are reached. We allow 2 full days in Cusco prior to commencing the trek in order to help you acclimatize sufficiently and give you an opportunity to visit the city of Cusco and near by Inka ruins at Sacsayhuaman, Q'enko, Pucapucara and Tambomachay. Your trip departs from London Heathrow where you’ll fly to Lima or Bogota (depending on flight arrangements) and onward to Cusco (Peru). The Amaru Hotel or similar (3/4 star) will be your base for the next few days while you acclimatise to Peru’s high altitude and prepare for the Inca trek ahead.
