Dear ASU Alumni and Friends,
Join us on a special 11-day journey throughout Peru. In a small group of no more than 24 guests led by an experienced Peruvian guide, you will discover a marvelous land.
We’ll begin our touring in Lima then fly to Cuzco, the archaeological hub of the Americas. Continuing on to the beautiful Sacred Valley, we visit the colorful Indian market at Pisac and the extensive ruins at Ollantaytambo. A thrilling train ride delivers us to Machu Picchu, the stunning “Lost City of the Incas” and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Finally, we travel overland through Peru’s rugged altiplano to Lake Titicaca. We’ll board a boat to the Floating Islands of Los Uros and Isla Taquile, known for superb locally crafted textiles. An optional 4-day/4-night post-tour extension gives us an opportunity to discover the Amazon rainforest.
We are pleased to share this tour with alumni and friends of the University of Colorado Boulder. Space is limited to 24 guests in total from both our schools, and will fill quickly. Please call today to reserve your place!
Sincerely,
Christine K. Wilkinson, ’66 B.A.E., ’76 Ph.D. President & CEO, ASU Alumni Association Senior Vice President and Secretary of the University Managing Director, Trustees of ASU

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 We meet our tour director and fellow travelers at this morning’s briefing about the journey ahead, then embark on a tour of colonial Lima. A highlight is our visit to treasured Casa Aliaga, one of the oldest homes in Lima (circa 1535), with a rich architectural heritage and a collection of Peruvian art and artifacts. Next we tour Larco Herrera Museum, whose ceramics collection (including a renowned set of erotic pre-Columbian figures) is unparalleled. We enjoy a welcome lunch at the museum; dinner tonight is on our own. B,L
Day 3: Lima/Cuzco/Sacred Valley This morning we transfer to the airport for the brief flight to Cuzco. Upon arrival we visit the sacred sites of Koricancha and Santo Domingo then continue on to the beautiful Sacred Valley, a region of Inca sites and indigenous villages. We stop at the colorful Indian market at Pi-sac before reaching our hotel mid-afternoon. B,L,D
Day 4: Sacred Valley This morning we attend a native ceremony, “Offering to the Earth,” then set out for Ollantaytambo, a living town and site of massive Incan ruins dating to the 15th century that still inspire wonder today. After touring here we continue on to the Incan farming town of Chincheros, set on a broad plateau presided over by a snowcapped mountain. Here residents live much as their ancestors did, wear-ing traditional clothing and conducting business and local government by time-honored means. They also weave as their ancestors did, as we see at a demon-stration of this traditional craft. Late afternoon we return to our hotel, where we dine tonight. B,L,D
Day 5: Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu/Aguas Calientes Early this morning we board a train for the 1½-hour journey to Aguas Calientes, where after lunch we board a bus for Machu Picchu and our first guided visit of the stunning “Lost City of the Incas.” Thanks to its small size, our group will move nimbly through the ruins and have the leisure to absorb the beauty and mystery of this haunting UNESCO
treasures of PeruWith Machu Picchu & Lake Titicaca11 days for $4,849 total price from Phoenix($4,295 air & land inclusive plus $554 airline taxes and fees)
A land of treasures archaeological, cultural, and natural, Peru draws those individuals eager to learn about the distant past – and encounter a fascinating
present of colonial and indigenous influences. As our small group takes in some of the country’s highlights – Cuzco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca – we marvel at the riches of an intriguing land somewhat off the beaten path.
Tour membership limited to 24 alumni and friends
Cover photo: Just 50 miles from Cuzco, Machu Picchu was unknown to the outside world until its rediscovery in 1911.

Day 7: Cuzco After a morning at leisure, we set out on a tour of the archaeological hub of the Americas, the continent’s oldest continuously inhabited city, and UNESCO World Heritage site. Dynamic and historic, Cuzco is rich with the legacies of its Inca and Spanish forebears. We stop at the ruins of Sacsayhuaman, the still beautiful “House of the Sun,” an Incan masterpiece, then enjoy lunch in the home of a gracious Cuzco family. B,L
Day 8: Cuzco/Puno This morning we depart for the day-long journey by coach to Puno, on the shores of Lake Titicaca. As we travel through the rugged snow- capped Andes dotted with small villages and herds of llama and alpaca, we make several stops along the way, beginning with Andahuaylillas, an attractive village known for its lovely 17th-century church.

horizon farther. By boat we visit the Floating Islands of Los Uros, where the top-hatted Uros people live on “islands” made of the reeds that grow in the lake’s shallows; in fact, the Uros rely on these reeds for their boats, the small huts in which they live, household items, and the handcrafts they sell to visitors. We also visit Isla Taquile, known for the high quality textiles crafted by the indigenous people who live here; sales of their textiles support the self-sustaining Taquilenos. On our visit, we see the men in their signature woven woolen caps with floppy earpieces, and women in tail- ored waistcoats and multi-layered skirts. We also witness the breathtaking natural beauty surround-ing us, with Bolivia’s snowcapped Cordillera range a striking backdrop to the deep blue of Lake Titicaca. Tonight we celebrate our Peruvian adventure at a farewell dinner at our hotel. B,L,D
