Dear Friends,

I bet French writer Jules Verne would love to know that today you can travel the world in 80 seconds with just a! For on this week, the Novica tour departs from Asia, crosses the Pacific, and makes its way up South America to Central America. And wouldn't you know it? One of Verne's novels is set in the Peruvian-Brazilian border of the Amazon River!
Happy trails with 10% savings on select items!

The Andes is such a breathtaking place! No wonder the Incas believed the gods lived inside the mountains. Andean artisans are extremely lucky to be the heirs of a rich artistic legacy that includes textiles, ceramics, and jewelry.

Next stop is Brazil , renowned for Carnival, samba, and sunny beaches. And for the gemstones... oh those fabulous gemstones! Featured in amazing jewelry designs, their colors are also present in paintings and blown glass!

Now we come to Central America starting with Guatemala, a proud Maya nation. Their arts and crafts evidence their strong belief in the preservation of their natural environment. Their textiles weave stories of hope.

Enjoy the cyber tour!
