Travel to Peru… a country pulsing with history, nature, and mysticism. We’ll explore the iconic Machu Picchu, the jewel of the Andes, which greets us among clouds and mountains, revealing the silent ruins of a civilization that still echoes in stone. Every step there is a journey through time, a breath of awe before the grandeur of the Inca Empire.
We’ll explore Peruvian cities full of culture, such as Lima and Cusco, and meet its warm, colorful people. We’ll unwind in the Sacred Valley, and finally, dive into the Peruvian Amazon, where green has no end: a living world of sounds, colors, and secrets. We’ll sail through winding rivers and learn from local communities who share ancient wisdom.
This is a journey where nature reigns. Peru is contrast and connection — between the sacred past and the majesty of the jungle. Are you coming with us on this unique adventure?

Is this trip for me?
This trip is for people who love fun and making friends, regardless of age. As long as you come with a relaxed attitude, you’ll have an unforgettable week.

We stay in high-quality hotels, but things like wildlife, weak Wi-Fi, faulty air conditioning, or low shower pressure can happen. Embrace the difference — that’s why you’re traveling!
We can’t guarantee perfect weather. Sometimes it rains, or the sea gets rough. It’s all part of the adventure!
What type of rooms will we stay in?
We stay in twin/double rooms. Solo travelers will share with someone of the same gender (you may occasionally have to share a double bed or a triple room). Couples or friends will get their own private room.
