Bolivia-The Tibet of the Americas

Bolivia, a land of deserts, mountains, canyons and jungles. It hides untold mysteries waiting to be uncovered. Unique Pre-Inca, Inca and Spanish treasures are still intact.

Northern Argentina and Chile:
Famous vineyards and ancient trade routes.

We will start in Santiago, Chile and visit the wineries of the Santa Cruz area crossing the Andes to Northern Argentina's less traveled paths. From Mendoza’s celebrated wine region we will continue into the delightful colonial cities of Salta and Tucuman staying in historical wineries and haciendas. Before the coastal areas were developed by the Spaniards, this was the most heavily populated region of what is now modern Argentina. Rich in cultural, historical and archaeological significance, the provinces of Salta and Jujuy offer much to artists, travelers, historians and seekers of rest and relaxation. We will offer an extension to Bolivia and beautiful Lake Titicaca.

One of the best ways to enjoy the Dalmatian Islands is on a traditionally built, wooden sailing gullet—our specialty! Join me in this visit to the country I was born in and where I still have many personal friends!
