Introduction: This South American adventure explores the west coast of the continent. Our tour starts in bustling Santiago. A short hop across the Andes brings us into Argentina: land of wineries and fantastic colonial towns. Leaving Salta, we begin our ascent to the Bolivian altiplano, home of the blinding white salt flats and the world's highest capital. Crossing the Peruvian border to the islands which dot Lake Titicaca, we then head to the Inca town of Cusco, the jumping off point for our Inca Trail treks. Heading back towards sea level, we call in at Nazca along the way, before rounding off our trip in the city of Lima.
