Teen Tours in Peru


2010 Summer Programs

The sun rises over the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu while jaguars prowl the Amazon Basin and Andean condors soar above desert canyons. Colorful festivals crowd the streets, cooking fires waft into the crisp mountain air, and climbers summit snow-capped peaks. Working with local pioneers in adventure travel and cultural tourism, we have created six unique programs showcasing the best this diverse country has to offer. Work alongside locals on sustainable community service projects in the Andes, live in tranquil villages along the shores of Lake Titicaca, or teach English in the Lunahuana Valley. Trek and climb among the peaks of the highest tropical mountain range in the world, or embark on a whitewater rafting expedition through the Amazon Rainforest. This is the amazing ‘Land of the Incas.’
