Adventure in Peru
Girl groups will embrace the spirit of Peru as they explore the third largest country in South America. They will jump into the history of a civilization with ancient origins to make a special visit to Peru's Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas. Along the journey they will discover the mountain-nestled city of Cusco and spend two days in the Sacred Valley to work in a local community on projects that support economic sustainability, local agriculture, and access to education. Their travel to Peru will be capped by two incredible days at an Amazon Lodge, where they can explore the flora and fauna of the jungle both by foot and by boat.
