Berg Adventures Silk Road Expedition: August 17 - September 3, 2007
When Marco Polo returned to Venice from his extended 13th century travels on the Silk Road, he was ridiculed for the wondrous stories he told of the people, architecture, terrain, and cultures of Central Asia. Accused to the end of making it all up, his dying words were, “I have not told half of what I saw.”
Join Berg Adventures for a one-of-a-kind adventure as we retrace Marco Polo’s steps along the Silk Road and discover a region that even today defies description.
