  2. Adventure Safaris

    Many of us dream of heading out on an exotic African safari – with elephants wandering by and cocktails served at the waterhole. Unfortunately, this fantasy is often not exactly affordable for most of us. And quite frankly, sitting with a drink while a guide practically brings the animals to you is not exactly a real safari.

  3. I Want to Climb Mount Kilimanjaro!

    Many of us have whimsical “to do” lists including everything from sky diving to wanting to climb Mount Kilimanjaro or bungee jumping off a bridge.

  6. The Tiwanaku Mystery of La Paz

    Just 44 miles west of La Paz lies the mysterious ruins of Tiwanaku, dating back to pre-Incan times. Located on the shores of Lake Titicaca, it is widely believed that this town was once a thriving metropolis and marine fossils found near the town also suggest that Lake Titicaca was once right at Tiwanaku’s door.

  7. Uros Island Tour

    A Uros Island tour is truly eye-opening as many of these islands still exist in exactly the same way as they did many years ago. The people have retained a way of life sustained by Lake Titicaca that, without their dedication, would have been lost many years ago.
