​We are travelling with Linblad Expeditions and National Geographic. "Over 50 years ago, Lars-Eric Lindblad chartered a ship and brought the first non-scientific travelers to Antarctica. A year later, in 1967, he did it again in Galápagos. Regarded as the father of ecotourism, he believed that educated people who saw things with their own eyes would be a potent force for the preservation of the places they visited. " We picked this company because of their love and respect for nature, history, learning, and conversation.

Each trip gets its own private dashboard where the traveler loads up required documents, tracks payments, and gets links and resources related to the trip - a reading list, guide to the destinations, info on the boat and crew, etc. Very handy!

Spent fill day in Lima - experienced amazing ehtnomusical performance in the oldest house in Lima - originally built for co-founder of Lima - Pizarro's #2 guy! His great-grandson to the 17th generation lives there with his family and, after a royal lunch, we actually met him. Just added first day pix to the Diary page on the site. Love M & T
