From there, we’ll head to the breathtaking Sacred Valley, dotted with charming villages and stunning Inca ruins, offering spectacular views of the Andes. Of course, a visit to the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World! Finally, we fly to the ancient city of Cusco, the heart of the Inca Empire, where cobblestone streets and stunning colonial architecture set the scene for exploration. Grab your sense of adventure and join Kyle in Peru!
Kyle will be donating all trip proceeds to the World Wildlife Fund.

If you choose "roommate" you are booking a single room at double occupancy. You can purchase two of these if you are going with someone and plan to share a room, and you can request one single bed, or two separate beds. If you buy this option, but aren't coming with someone, we'll assign you a roommate.
