A Knowmad Adventures’ Women’s Trip to Peru: Journey to Machu Picchu: Women’s Active & Cultural Adventure

Women's Adventure Trip

Adventures are the best. Adventures where you connect with like-minded souls and form lifelong friendships are even better. Here at Knowmad we hear stories of college roommates reuniting for a trip after years of losing touch; or old friends that remain just that, old friends, because of an annual travel experience they share together; or even loose-knit groups that grow into tight-knit ones because of a unique journey to South America.

It’s stories like these that make us proud to offer the Journey to Machu Picchu, a women’s active and cultural adventure. This 8 day itinerary is $2,375 in land costs (airfare not included – see below for pricing details) and runs March 26th to April 3rd, 2016. On this all women’s trip to Peru you’ll find yourself day hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, biking through Andean villages, exploring and unwinding in the Sacred Valley and discovering Cusco and Machu Picchu with one of the best guides in all of South America.

Celebrating 6 Years of South America Travel

South America Travel Specialists - Knowmad Adventures

I came across this lovely little verse the other day and confused emotion swelled within me. We talk a lot about experiences, adventures and journeys here at Knowmad Adventures and it’s likely that we’re referring to a week or two in South America. Frankly, for us this has become almost commonplace as we have the fortune to build these adventures everyday and live vicariously in the post-trip glow through returning travelers telling their tales.

Today it’s only appropriate to talk about a different kind of journey. The journey filled with hope, the journey filled with fear. The journey that is your teacher, that helps you grow. The journey that is Knowmad Adventures for Jordan and I. Six years ago and newly married, we found ourselves on a road to Patagonia. We knew little of where we were going or what we were doing. Our travel company was nothing more than a name.
