Peru: Women's Expedition

About this trip

Join a women-only adventure through the valleys and off-the-beaten-track villages of Peru and gain insight into the lives of Peruvian women. Start this eight-day trip in Cusco, the former centre of the Inca Empire. Meet female entrepreneurs at a local market and during hands-on mixology and bracelet-making workshops. Savour authentic Andean flavours at a female-owned restaurant and take a chocolate-making class at a social enterprise empowering vulnerable local women through employment. Hike the less-trodden Chinchero to Urquillos trail and visit the ruins of Sacsayhuaman and Pumamarca with the support of a crew of female porters. Celebrate your Inca adventure at a chicheria (bar) in Ollantaytambo, then end your journey with a bang at Machu Picchu, all with a group of women and a female leader by your side.
