This is the route that we took on our bus trip through South America in 2003. We began in Quito, Ecuador. Our trip included visits to the Galapagos Islands, the Nazca Lines and Machu Picchu in Peru, Lake Titicaca and the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia, a visit to Sue's birthplace in the Chaco of Paraguay, Iguazu Falls and the Copacobana Beach in Rio de Janeiro. We flew home from Rio in mid-April.
