Overland/Surface trek recommendations?
Please share your favorite Overland/Surface treks you have tried in conjunction with your OWE RTW fare.
Also please comment on some of my ideas. I'm especially interested in Trains and Ferry connections that are especially scenic or stop along nice places. I'd much rather fly into one airport and out of another, than just round trip back to a major hub.
Some I'm considering --
Arrive Cuzco, train to Machu Piccu and then to Titicaca and La Paz Bolivia by Train/Ferry. Either fly straight to Santiago Chile from there, or continue overland to Arica and fly from there. (Anyone try Arica)
Train from Puerto Montt to Santiago. Perhaps overland trek/tour from Punta Arenas to Balmaceda if possible, going to Torres del pines first? Maybe overland to Argentina from the pass near Balmaceda? Osorno/Puerto Montt into Argentina? Bad idea?
Arrive in Vancouver and take a cruise to anchorage, fly back to Dallas or St. Louis after land trip in the area.
Arrive in Puerto Rico and take a cruise back to Miami, or vice versa.
Arrive in northern Norway (lakselv) and ferry/train down to Bergen/Oslo.
Other train surface sectors in Europe, I love trains. East Europe would be nice.
Moscow to St. Petersberg overland.
Fly to Capetown, train back to Joberg.
I see some rules that seem to forbid most Asia surface sectors, is that correct? Wanted to try landing in Seoul, train to Pusan, boat (beetle II) to Fukuoka Japan, train to Narita and fly out.
Train from Perth to Adelaide or Sydney.
