Summer Macchu Pichu Peru Teen Tour

Overview

Travel to Peru! Explore ancient Inca ruins perched high in the Andes, Amazon rivers and jungles and crystal blue waters of the Pacific ocean. Experience the beauty, culture and adventure of South America on Bold Earth's multi-sport journey to the heart of Peru.

Eco-lodge in the amazon jungle

Our classic South American adventure begins in the Amazon jungle where we stay at a remote eco-lodge reachable only by boat. From our lodge we explore the jungle by foot and canoe as we look for monkeys and fish for piranha. At night we sleep in a jungle lodge with the sound of the rainforest around us.

Cuzco and HIKE the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

Next, we travel to the beautiful city of Cuzco to experience the markets and nightlife as well as participate in a service project with local street children. Near Cuzco, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, we enjoy the adrenaline rush of mountain biking surrounded by Incan ruins and snow-capped Andean peaks. From Cuzco we hike through the ancient Sacred Valley in the footsteps of the Incas and visit the forgotten city of Machu Picchu.

Lake Titicaca Community Service Project

On the vast and magical Lake Titicaca, we stay with local families and install chimneys in their homes to help reduce pollution and illness in the community. After our hard work the locals treat us to a soccer match and an evening party complete with traditional music and dancing!

Surfing and exploring pristine beaches

Our final adventure is a surf camp on the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. Outside of Lima, we enjoy instruction and waves suitable for any ability level. Surfing and relaxing on the beach is the ideal way to complete our journey together in this fascinating country.
