I am not sure that I could physically handle the altitude in Peru (?).
Why do you say a window of 8 nights?

The Quasar site, when you get down to the price part is VERY
expensive. (Not as expensive as Regent or something like that, but
high.) I discarded Celebrity's weekly Galapagos cruise because there
are only 100 pax and it did not seem as though there would be many
young people. Perhaps I will rethink that.
