"The explorer is the poet of action and exploring is the poetry of deeds."

Our Chapter Chairman, Greg Deyermenjian, is currently carrying The Explorers Club Flag in Peru searching for the lost Inca city of Paititi.
We have recently recieved several communications from Greg from the field.

Since 1984, Greg and his team have been making scientific expeditions into the high and lower altitude jungle areas north and northeast of Cusco. Sponsored over the years by The Explorers Club; a Shipton-Tilman Grant from Gore Tex; and the Polartec Performance Challenge Award; the team welcomes its 2004 Expedition sponsor, Eastern Mountain Sports. Support of the expedition by such a prestigious sponsor is partly due to the teams' unquestionable reputation for scientific and human integrity, and ethical conduct in both the execution and documentation of their findings.

"This expedition is the most ambitious and significant to date. Ultimately, we aim to uncover what lies beneath the traces of the Inca city, Paititi, and unearth new, historical evidence of the presence of the last Incas in this region.The team is confident that the 2004 exploration will stand as a culmination of its field expeditions and answer the question of the existence, form, and location of Paititi and of the Incans furthest reach north of Cusco."
G. Deyermenjian.
