2024 Peru FIESTA Adventure!
1) Full Cultural Tour
2) Alpaca Fiesta Experience
Tour 1 Full Cultural Tour
Upon arrival into Lima we will fly to the Northern
part of Peru for an Amazonian exploration &
cultural experience. You will have close up &
personal animal experiences with Sloths and Monkeys ,
enjoy a cultural indigenous ceremony, guided jungle walks
and more. All meals are hand prepared and
included at the site.
Catching our next flight will take us to the magical city of Cusco.
In Cusco, you will be immersed in a Cultural and Shopping
Bonanza! Meet true Quechua weavers and spinners as they explain their fiber artist
skills pasted down through generations. Experience another unique animal
sanctuary and cultural textile center learning more of ancient cultures and traditions.
OMG! The food!!
Of course we will go to one of the World's greatest treasures,
the Incan citadel of Machu Picchu via train.
Get the Machu Picchu Experience and feel like Indiana Jones exploring Peru's sacred treasured Incan City. The sights and your pictures will be amazing!
Tour 2 Joins in Cusco
Enjoy a free day in Cusco along with meeting the second Group.
We will all fly from Cusco to Arequipa. Arequipa is an industrial city created by the Spaniards. We will be staying in the breathtaking Historic area of the City created with the white volcanic rock from the surrounding mountain guardians of the area. Its Spanish architecture is a huge part of its romance. Get a behind the scene tour at one of the giant alpaca raw fiber processing mills and finishing mills. Everyone will have passes to come and go from the Fiesta for 3 days.
This year is a special year of an Alpaca Fiesta. They don't occur but every 4-5 years.
The event will allow guests to see the best alpacas of Peru that come down from 14000-16000 feet to the picturesque city of Arequipa. There are regal nightly galas hosting fashion shows or cultural entertainment. The venue will also hold many alpaca related seminars and product vendors.
Back to Lima will conclude the tour with last minute shopping before catching flights home. If you wish to add a day or two more to your departure to help with availability of flights or other wishes, just let me know.

The way I am able to offer this great value pricing is because I book & negotiate everything in advance as a group. But that means this is a None Refundable trip. Refunds and credits can be returned only if I can get the the funds returned. This trip prices out around $9500 per person with a standard travel agency...
-
Two singles can team up to share a room….(yes there would be two beds!)
-
After the general group is defined then I have a budget to go make all of the needed arrangements. The final cost is either what is stated or close to it. The maximum I've ever understated is just $150/person.
Make this trip your fitness challenge! However, If you have any physical ailments you Must discuss them with me.

There are luggage restrictions listed below.
Note – Hotels
Please call your credit cards informing them that you wish to use them in Peru. I suggest bringing cash for exchange for most purchases. I’d say meals are 2/3 the cost to our prices and alpaca garments are sometimes 50% lower. Of course it depends on the market we are at. Most dinners at medium or higher quality restaurants take credit cards.
Also please try to pack light as you will be responsible for carrying your own baggage and the airlines will charge you for every pound over 25Kilo’s (50lbs). Inner country flights we are restricted to One check on and one carry & Purse. At the end of your trip you can add an additional check on bag for your own International flights home.
I’d look into shots immediately! I’m sure a Typhoid and Malaria shot would be suggested for Machu Picchu & Jungle areas. However, we are going at the dry time of year when there are fewer bugs.
Cheers!!! Please call with any questions.
