Teen Summers

Service & Culture Immersion (10–14 days)

Perfect for first-time travelers who crave deeper connections. Mornings might be spent mixing concrete for a village water tank or teaching English games to primary students; afternoons bring weaving workshops, foodie tours of Cusco, and guided walks through Ollantaytambo’s cobbled lanes. A day-long visit to Machu Picchu crowns the experience.

High-Altitude Trekking Odyssey (12–18 days)

Built for the teen who lives in their hiking boots. After acclimatizing in the Sacred Valley, groups set off on multi-day trails—Inca Route, Salkantay, or a less-traveled Quechua path—camping under constellations so bright they hardly need headlamps. Service elements often include trail restoration or reforestation projects with local guides.

Andes-to-Amazon Expedition (16–21 days)

Why pick just one ecosystem? This itinerary begins in Lima’s coastal capital, rises into the cloud-brushed Andes for archaeology and village projects, and then plunges into the Amazon basin. Think canopy walks, wildlife conservation workshops, and night safaris by boat. The finale: a sunrise at Machu Picchu before heading home.

Spanish & Service Intensive (2–3 weeks)

For language lovers, daily immersion classes blend with project work in nearby communities—painting murals, assisting in after-school programs, or building greenhouses. By trip’s end, your teen will order ceviche in flawless Spanish and maybe even pepper in some Quechua phrases.
