1. Machu Picchu, Cusco, & The Sacred Valley

With great guides to make the most of his adventure, Dad will access the Incan Empire’s most iconic site, scour the winding streets of Cusco, and ride the rails across Peru without getting lost in the crowd. Aboard Vistadome Train, which is surrounded by glass to take in the most scenic views and innumerable opportunities to capture panoramic photos of the Andes and Peruvian countryside.  With Gondwana Ecotours, imagine exploring Machu Picchu TWICE: Once at the most quiet and crowd-free time of day, and once in the morning when it is often shrouded in beautiful clouds and morning lights, creating a very mysterious scene.

2. Siberia Escapade

When you think of Siberia, perhaps you think of punishment and exicle, barren tundra and vast expanses of nothingness. But this Siberian escape guided MIR Corporation is wild and wooded with unimaginable beauty. This experience is perfect for the daring Dad who has seen it all. On UNESCO-listed Lake Baikal, he’ll race teams of sled dogs, ice-fish and sweep across the lake by hovercraft.  In Ust-Ordynski, he’ll discover one of Siberia’s Buddhist monasteries, and participate in a sunrise shaman ceremony at Olkhon Island’s best-known spot, Shaman Rock.
