Discover Peru

The University of Southern Indiana alumni, their families and others are invited to explore some of the world's greatest ancient sites next spring in a trip to "Peru: Ancient Land of Mysteries." The 10-day trip, offered through the USI Alumni Association, is set for May 16-25, 2015, and offers an optional five-day, four-night Peruvian Amazon post tour extension. Registration is now open to the public.

The expedition includes round-trip air transportation to Lima, Peru, where the group will be immersed in the archeological treasures Peru offers: Machu Picchu, the "Lost City of the Incas," the historic city center (a UNESCO World Heritage site) and the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Other highlights include arriving at Machu Picchu via the famed Vistadome train, exploring San Francisco Monastery, visiting Pisac Market, investigating Ollantaytambo Ruins, enjoying an exclusive culinary demonstration at the base of Machu Picchu, relaxing at Lake Titicaca and much more.  

The Peru tour, booked through Lifestyle Tours, will depart from Evansville Regional Airport. The trip includes 14 meals: nine breakfasts and five dinners. Rates are: single/$5,549; double/$4,849; triple $4,819.
