Las Vegas and the Wonders of the American Canyons

We head east through the desert and the famousDeath Valley to reach the gambling capital:Las Vegas. We stop for lunch at theNevada State Line Outlet, full of shops like Levi's, Nike, Reebok, Timberland, and many more, at competitive prices.

In the evening, we take a panoramic tour of the famousLas Vegas Strip to see from outside some of the most incredible and imaginative hotels and buildings built in the middle of the desert: Caesar's Palace, Mirage, Luxor, Paris, Mandalay Bay, New York New York, Treasure Island, and many others. In your free evening, you can attend one of the many shows or try your luck in one of the many casinos—Lady Luck smiles on many every day!

We leave in the morning heading southeast through the desert and theNavajo Indian reservation before arriving at the south rim of"ONE OF THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD", theGrand Canyon. Passing right along the south rim, you can see how, over millennia, the Colorado River carved its way to the sea, creating this unique geological wonder.

After lunch, we continue along the east rim of the Canyon, stopping at some of the many Indian markets to discover their crafts.

Arrival in the late afternoon in the area ofPage andLake Powell, considered one of the most beautiful in America.

We start the day where water flows through the rocks, as the Navajo Indian folklore tradition says. We visit the upper part ofAntelope Canyon and the spectacular dunes shaped by wind, water, and sand; there are no words to describe these creations of Mother Nature.

After returning from the canyon, we depart forBryce Canyon, home to some of the world's most incredible natural sculptures. Our tour will take us to see these fascinating stone and sand formations, perfectly sculpted by millennia of sun, wind, and rain. Don’t miss theamazing changing colors at sunset from one of the park’s viewpoints (the location may vary depending on sunset time).

We then continue to the city ofKanab, the filming location for more than 100 western movies.

On some departures, the tour will continue to Cedar City for overnight at Hotel Comfort Inn.

After breakfast, we depart forZion National Park. The name was chosen by Mormons who settled in the area. For them, visiting this park is like having a religious experience; the majesty of the mountains and the silence of nature give you the sensation of being transported to another world.

We visit the park and walk a bit along theVirgin River that crosses the park, before leaving this incredible place and heading back towards Las Vegas for an afternoon arrival.
