Ancient Incan ruins perched high in the Andes, Amazonian rivers and jungles, the blue waters of the Pacific ocean... experience the beauty, culture and adventure of South America on AAVE's multi-sport journey to the heart of Peru.
Our classic South American adventure begins in the Amazon jungle where we stay at a remote eco-lodge only reachable 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 hammocks with the sound of the jungle around us.
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 and whitewater rafting 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.
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!
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.
