Dear Alumni and Friends,

We invite you to travel with us as we journey to two of South America’s treasures — the enigmatic ruins at Machu Picchu and the fascinating Galapagos Islands.

Your tour begins with a full day in Lima, including a visit to Mali, Lima’s art museum. Next, fly to Cuzco, where you will explore the important Incan site of Koricancha and tour the beautiful Sacred Valley. A captivating train ride delivers you to Machu Picchu, where your overnight stay at the on-site Belmond Sanctuary Lodge affords virtually private access to the ruins. In the Galapagos Islands, spend four nights in the lush highlands of Santa Cruz island, your base for exploring North Seymour, South Plaza, and Santa Cruz islands. Conclude your journey back in Quito, where you will gather with the other travelers at a local restaurant for a farewell dinner, celebrating your adventure.

Space on this exclusive University of Illinois tour is limited to just 20 guests – we encourage you to register today to guarantee your place on this special journey.

Sincerely,

Loren R. Taylor President and CEO University of Illinois Alumni Association
