World Class Travel
Services, a Gainesville,
Fla.-based adventure tour operator, has assembled an adventure
package called The Way of the Inca, which will visit the recently
discovered Gocta Falls in Peru.
The 2,532-foot
waterfall, one of the largest in the world, was known only to
locals until it was 
revealed to the outside world in early 2006
Stefan Ziemendorff, a German who had been working on a project with
the Potable Amazon Water Co.
Peru's Ministry of
National Tourism is planning to be ready by mid-2007 to receive
tourists at Gocta, but World Class Travel Services is getting the
jump on plans with what the company calls "an 18-day event of
extreme adventure." The tour is scheduled to depart May 14.
The trip includes a
360-foot bungee jump; a 25-mile, two-day marathon hike on the Inca
Trail to Machu Picchu; a mountain bike trip across the Sacred
Valley of the Incas; and a build-your-own-raft trip on the Madre de
Dios River.
The price of the
trip is $3,940 per person, double, land only. For more information,
