Overland between Cusco & Cusco v... (LCI)

From: $5155 + Kitty

Overview

79 days between Cusco and Cusco

The perfect circle.  Mathematicians sought its secret for thousands of years. Dragoman believe we have found another perfect circle, a journey around South America starting and finishing in Cusco. Overlanding around Cusco would usually take you about 12 days if you wanted to see the country of Peru properly. This trip involves a journey to Buenos Aires, up to Rio and finally an epic expedition across the width of the Amazon Jungle. Well why not?!...It seems a good idea to us because then you get to see the whole continent, and not just the Inca Heartland.
