Dear Duke Alumni and Friends,

Travel with us on an exciting 16-day tour to Peru and Ecuador. Explore two of South America’s treasures – the enigmatic ruins at Machu Picchu and the fascinating Galapagos Islands.

Begin with a full-day tour of Lima, featuring a visit to a prominent art museum and an afternoon tour of this historic capital. Next, fly to Cuzco and explore the important Incan site of Koricancha then tour the beautiful Sacred Valley. Enjoy a captivating train ride to Machu Picchu, and stay overnight at the on-site Belmond Sanctuary Lodge, which affords virtually private access to the stunning ruins. In the Galapagos Islands, you spend four nights in the lush highlands of Santa Cruz island, your base for exploring North Seymour, South Plaza, and Santa Cruz islands, embarking on day excursions on a privately chartered yacht. Conclude your journey back in Quito with a visit to the Botanical Gardens and Iñaquito Market and a farewell dinner to celebrate your adventure. A 4-day/4-night Amazon Rainforest pre-tour option is also available.

Space on this exclusive Duke departure is limited to 20 guests in total and will fill quickly. Your educational program will be led by a knowledgeable and attentive Odysseys Tour Director, in addition to your expert local guides. As the group grows in size, we will make every attempt to find a Duke host who will join the program to add a uniquely Duke perspective to the experience. Call today to reserve your place!

Forever Duke,

Beth Ray-Schroeder ’83 Director, Duke Alumni Travels Duke Alumni Association

Day 1: Depart U.S. for Lima, Peru We depart today for the Peruvian capital. Upon arrival tonight we transfer directly to our hotel.

Day 2: Lima This morning we visit a prominent art museum in Lima. Then we encounter colonial Lima on an afternoon tour, followed by a welcome dinner at our hotel. B,D

Day 3: Lima/Cuzco/Sacred Valley Arriving in Cuzco today, we stop at the important Incan site of Koricancha, dedicated to the Sun God. Then we continue on to Sacred Valley, a region of Incan sites and indigenous villages. We visit the colorful Indian market at Pisac before reaching our hotel late afternoon. B,L,D

Day 4: Sacred Valley Today we explore Ollantay- tambo, both a living town and site of massive Incan ruins that still inspire wonder. Then we visit the Incan farming town of Chinchero, where we see a traditional weaving demonstration. Before dinner at our hotel tonight, we attend a native “Offering to the Earth” ceremony. B,L,D

Day 5: Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu Early this morning we board a train to Aguas Calientes, where we transfer by shuttle bus to the ruins at Machu Picchu for our first guided visit of the stunning “Lost City of the Incas.” With an overnight stay here, we have the rare privilege of seeing the ruins after the tourists have departed. B,L,D

Day 6: Machu Picchu/Cuzco This morning before the day trippers arrive, we enjoy our second guided tour of this UNESCO site. Following lunch at our lodge, we return to Aguas Calientes with some free time before our mid-afternoon train to Cuzco. B,L

Day 7: Cuzco Known for its Incan and Spanish colonial heritage, Cuzco is the archaeological “hub” of the Americas and the continent’s oldest continu-ously inhabited city. This morning we tour this UNESCO site then stop at the ruins of Sacsayhua-man fortress, a masterpiece of Incan architecture. We enjoy lunch today in the home of a gracious Cuzco family. B,L

Machu Picchu to the GalaPaGos16 days from $7,593 total price from Miami($6,895 air & land inclusive plus $698 airline taxes and fees)

T hey rank as two of South America’s greatest treasures, and a small group tour is the natural selection for both: the enigmatic ruins at Machu Picchu, where

we overnight at an intimate on-site hotel; and the fascinating Galapagos Islands, Darwin’s “living laboratory,” for a four-night island-based adventure.

Tour membership limited to 20 alumni and friends

Day 8: Cuzco/Lima/Quito, Ecuador Early today we fly via Lima to Quito, arriving late afternoon. We attend a briefing about our Galapagos adventure then dine at our hotel. B,D

Day 9: Quito Nestled in the Andes foothills, Quito boasts a well-preserved historic center, as we see on today’s city tour that includes the Intiñan Museum and the Middle of the World Monument. B,L

Day 10: Quito/Baltra/Santa Cruz Island Today we fly to the island of Baltra then transfer to Santa Cruz, our island-based home for our Galapagos exploration. This afternoon we visit the Charles Darwin Research Station to see and learn about the giant Galapagos tortoises. B,L,D

Day 11: North Seymour Island/Bachas Beach This morning we embark on our first excursion aboard the Santa Fe, our privately chartered yacht. We set out for North Seymour, a flat, low-lying island, with ample opportunities for close encounters with the magnificent frigate bird, land iguanas and lava lizards on our naturalist-led walk. After lunch, we head back to Santa Cruz island, weighing anchor in the calm waters off Bachas Beach. Highlights of our nature walk here include flamingos, nesting sea turtles, and both aquatic and migratory birds. B,L,D

Day 12: South Plaza Island/Punta Carrion To-day’s destination is the small in size but rich in flora and fauna island of South Plaza. During our nature walk, we are on the lookout for such local residents as iguanas, bright orange Sally Lightfoot crabs, Nazca and blue-footed boobies, and a male colony of sea lions (“the bachelors”). Then we cruise to Punta Carrion, where we have the opportunity to snorkel. B,L,D

We explore the amazing ruins at Machu Picchu on Days 5 & 6.

Day 13: Santa Cruz Island Today we explore Santa Cruz itself. We see the giant Galapagos tortoises in their natural habitat; Los Gemelos, the huge twin cra-ters formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago; and Garrapatero, a secluded white-sand beach. Finally, we have a chance to explore the “lava tunnels” at our hotel: literally to walk through the naturally-formed tube through which lava flowed eons ago. B,L,D
