Featured Adventures
This 10-day Maya Route itinerary traces the arc of an ancient civilization through four modern nations—El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Belize. Designed by Lost World Adventures for travelers drawn to archaeology, culture, and vivid landscapes, it connects living cities and long-silent temples along the spine of Mesoamerica.
Depart in the late morning from Cuzco and travel across the Altiplano towards Puno. Stop in the village of Raqchi, also known as the Temple of Viracocha because of its emblematic constructions and La Raya, the highest point on the Cusco-Puno route at 4,335 meters above sea level, the perfect place to see the beautiful snow-capped Andes and the many llamas and vicunas roaming.
The cuisine and culinary traditions of the Ancient Mayans were diverse and extensive. The Mayans were hunters, fishers and used their own gardens to grow their food supply. Their most traditional dishes use a variety of ingredients. Their largest crop production was maize (corn). Cacao, another principle crop, was used in a sacred drink and also as an exchange unit in its grain form. The Spanish colonization brought change to the region.
Flying over Cape Horn and the mythical waters of the Drake Passage, you are invited to a unique experience that will take you to one of the most remote places on earth, the coldest, highest, windiest, driest, and most inhospitable continent – Antarctica.
First you'll spend 4 days in Buenos Aires, each day living and breathing a different part of the city and its environs: a walking tour of the Palermo neighborhoods, our exclusive 'Four Balconies of Buenos Aires' city tour, an Artist's tour, a culinary and wine tasting event, a day in San Isidro and the Parana River Delta, a day trip across the Rio de la Plata to Colonia in Uruguay, a Tango Dinner Show.
