Culture Xplorers, a travel company whose signature is delving as deeply as possible into other cultures, has designed six immersive trips to Peru in collaboration with Viventura, a personalized group tour operator based in South America.
The world's only earthquake-themed festival, fireworks, horseracing, dancing, costumes, parades and partying, as well as Machu Picchu and more, are among the highlights of six different nineday "Active Adventures into the Cultural Heart of Peru" being offered through September 2014.
Each small group departure takes in a range of activities focused on the culture, heritage and living traditions of Peru, and coincides with a local festival. A full list of all Culture Xplorers programs in Peru (Viventura collaborations and CX signature journeys) can be found online at culturexplorers.com/destinations/peru.
Tours begin at $2,599 per person double and include eight nights accommodation; meals; private ground transportation throughout the trip; entry fees and permits for museums, trails, national parks and monuments; and local, bilingual guides.
A series of North Argentina experiences is also in the works for this year, with the potential for additional collaborative journeys and South America destinations added in 2015.
