Itinerary In Detail
Authentic & Transformative Peru
Upon arrival in Peru’s capital city in Lima, you will be inspired by the colorful cultures and kind people who call the country home. Begin your responsible trip with an immersive day accompanied by the founder of our partner non-profit, MEDLIFE. On your Day with Dr. Ellis you will gain unparalleled insight into the city of Lima, Dr. Ellis’ field experiences, and how MEDLIFE works hand in hand with communities in extreme poverty to tackle the complex problems they face. Your time in Lima will also take you through the historic downtown, coastal neighborhoods, and seaside parks.
You will then fly from Lima to Cusco, and head directly to the Sacred Valley. Along the way you will make stops to visit llamas and alpacas at Awanacancha, and to explore the fascinating Pisac ruins and artisanal market.
While in the Andean highlands, venture to a traditional weaving community of the Sacred Valley and an interactive weaving workshop. This authentic experience is led by the non-profit organization of Awamaki, a group that works to preserve rural textile traditions and empowers women and girls with education and financial independence. Also visit the ancient ruins of Ollantaytambo, enjoy a traditional Inca pachamanca lunch.
A highlight of your responsible journey will be your time on one of the most iconic trekking routes in South America, the Inca Trail. You will spend one day traversing sub-tropical forests and high mountains, testing your stamina against the elements before arriving to the Sun Gate and catching your first glimpse of Machu Picchu.
Tour the UNESCO World Heritage Site that has been astonishing explorers and travelers for years, and then return to Cusco via train. Choose between a day of eco-friendly adventure sports, or touring the most beautiful city in South America.
Your final destination is the mighty Amazon Jungle, where you will have 4 days to climb above the canopy line, fish for piranhas, spot monkeys and sloths, and search for the elusive jaguar. All of your experiences during your time in the jungle will be a la carte – meaning you can pick exactly what you want to do, while you’re there!
