Dear Alumni and Friends,
If you enjoy traveling to amazing destinations on exclusive programs accompanied
by knowledgeable guides, then you’ll want to consider joining fellow Dartmouth
travelers on the upcoming 2015 Galapagos Islands and Machu Picchu travel
programs. These “bucket list” destinations are among the most thrilling in the
world, and this program gives travelers the flexibility to explore the Galapagos
Islands, Machu Picchu, or combine both destinations for the ultimate adventure!
The Galapagos Islands have been described as a “unique living museum and
showcase of evolution.” This exciting journey features a full day guided tour of
Quito, in addition to a cruise through the archipelago with unparalleled access
to endemic species. Professional and expert naturalists are along to guide you
through the wonders of this national park, whale sanctuary, and marine reserve.
As an exciting continuation of your adventure, join the following journey into
the Peruvian Andes and admire the mist-enshrouded Machu Picchu. Visit preColumbian temples, and soak in the colorful cultures of today’s Land of the Inca.
This exclusive expedition will take us to the ancient Inca capital of Cusco, by train
to the “Lost City” of Machu Picchu, and through stunning mountain landscapes to
mysterious ruins and local villages of the Sacred Valley. An Orbridge Expedition
Leader, as well as local guides, will offer enlightened discussions as we delve into
the historical, cultural, and archaeological treasures of this extraordinary place.
Space is limited, so be certain to reserve your spot today and to share this
brochure with friends and family who may be interested in traveling with you!
