A few spots just opened up for Patagonia!

Beat the early winter blahs with an active trip to “the uttermost part of the earth.” As you walk from our bases in Argentinian and Chilean Patagonia, you will see spiky peaks veiled in clouds, endless steppes where solitary guanacos keep watch from hilltops, electric-blue lakes, and the two great icefields, remnants of the last ice age, which spill out of the Andes as impressive glaciers!

Explore the fabled cities of Samarkand, the capital of Timur’s empire founded in 1370, and Khiva and Bukhara, with their magnificent examples of Islamic art and architecture.

This course's lecturer, Paula Swart is an art historian specializing in Asian cultures. A museum curator for more than 20 years, she curated an exhibition of Buddhist art at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC in 2012.
