A Study Tour
The schedule of this Study Tour is designed for students and
anticipates strenuous days. The itinerary maximizes time spent at
sites, with limited shopping and free time. All applicants must be
in good health and be capable of walking significant distances,
sometimes on uneven and narrow trails, without assistance (extensive
stairclimbing and walking through tunnels will also be a part of
the tour). Priority will be given to student applicants from the host
institutions. Other travelers will be admitted as space is available.
