COLORADO ROCKIES LOOP: ALPINE PEAKS TO ANCIENT CLIFF DWELLINGS
Alpine tundra giving way to towering dunes, canyon shadows plunging into darkness, cliff dwellings guarding secrets. Colorado dazzles, vertically.
Taste Lima and its ceviche, then glide to Paracas and its bird-filled cliffs. Race down Huacachina's dunes, reach Arequipa and its white stone, then follow Colca Canyon to meet the condors. End on Lake Titicaca with the Uros, before Cusco and Machu Picchu, where Inca stone touches the clouds.
- Rocky Mountain: tundra peaks, elk meadows
- Great Sand Dunes: desert meets mountains
- Mesa Verde: ancestral cliff palaces
- Black Canyon: shadowed abyss, painted walls
