10-DAY TRIP TO PERU
UPCOMING TRIP: APRIL 17-27, 2023
WHERE WE GO AND WHAT WE DO.
FLY TO CUSCO - HEART OF THE INCAN EMPIRE
Fly into the heart of the Incan Empire - Cusco, Peru. Explore the sacred valley with excursions to alpaca farms, mountain lakes, and ziplining then give back with service projects in at-risk communities.
VOLUNTEER WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY
Discover a different side of Lima, way up in the hills outside the city. Meet with local community leaders and lead education projects with children. We always work in partnership with local organizations to ensure our efforts are helping where support is needed most, and to ensure the safety and well-being of the children we work with.
MEET WITH LOCAL NGO LEADERS, MAKE AN IMPACT
Partner with local organizations in Cusco working to improve the lives of children and families in impoverished communities. Make a meaningful impact on projects designed to make a lasting impact during our visit and create memories that the children we work with will remember for a lifetime
LAND IN LIMA - COASTAL BEACH CAPITAL
A quintessential South American city on the beach, Lima's buzzing streets and trendy nightlife draw tourists from around the world. We start our journey in the hippest area of the city and quickly launch into action with guided tours of some of the city's famous historical sites, nights out in the trendy Barranco district, and nighttime excursions to gorgeous modern sites
EXPLORE THE SACRED VALLEY AND ALPACA FARM
Get out into the Peruvian highlands and explore the local culture, sites, and adventure activities. From sustainable alpaca farms to pristine mountain lakes, this is our chance to get out into nature and soak up the crisp mountain air of the Andes.
FULL-DAY TRIP AND TOUR OF MACHU PICCHU
Wake before sunrise to begin the multi-hour train journey to one of the world's most legendary historic cities. Revered as one of the 7 New Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu is rightfully positioned on the bucket list of most adventurous travelers. We'll experience Machu Picchu to the fullest, spending a full day at this ancient Incan sanctuary.
AWESOME GROUP ADVENTURE EXPERIENCES
Then obviously there is lots of fun to be had with an incredible group of beautiful, like-minded people from all backgrounds, walks of life, observance levels and locations. All AWP trips have their fair share of hikes, swimming in natural water sources, adventure activities and of course nights out spiced up with some glasses of the local tipple. Make great friends, see great sites, do great things ...
GIVE BACK
One of the purposes of life, as well as one of the most fulfilling and meaningful things to do, is to positively influence the world around you. Based on a lot of research on how to avoid the pitfalls of short term voluntourism, AWP gets involved in some hands on volunteering through local organisations who are working with some of the most vulnerable people in society. Building, planting, painting and teaching English to kids and creating a lasting impact on the lives of all involved.
GET A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE AND THE WORLD.
Adventure with purpose trips take you out of your comfort zone and empower you to find clarity, joy, direction and inspiration in your life. Facilitated discussions, mindfulness and meditation sessions, morning stretching and experiential education help people tap into their potential, break down obstacles and move forward happily and healthily in life. Start implementing practical tools towards personal mastery, leadership and contribution
DISCOVER A NEW CULTURE
Adventure with purpose trips take you into the heart of the local culture; to the must see tourist sights and then off the beaten track to where no other tourists ever go. Meet locals from all walks of life, learn some of the local language, religion, customs, folktales and beliefs, taste the local food and see the bustling cities and breath-taking nature. Balance all this by gaining a real insight into the issues facing the country from some of the inspirational people working there to make a real change.
