This programme will provide opportunities for enquiries based on tourism, sustainability and conservation. Most of the tour is based in the Amazon Rain Forest, which is an ideal destination to carry out field studies, collect data for project course work and experience first-hand how local communities interact with their environment. Our 12 day "Trail of the Incas" tour will include a boat trip on Lake Titicaca, Cusco and the Sacred Valley and the "Lost City of Macchu Picchu".
