 Join us on a unique adventure
that combines discovery with learning, to provide an unforgettable
travel experience! This is somewhat of a custom trip, where the individuals can choose what they want to focus on during the trip. Call us details!
Mountain Spirit Institute is offering this program for those interested
in an out-of-the-ordinary travel, an experience one that impels
you to think differently about the world around you. One that
provides the chance to experience - and directly participate in
- the places you visit.
We believe that in order to travel well, it’s important
to shift your perspective to see how others live and think in
their world. Our mission is to facilitate this process through
intercultural experiences, reconnecting to the earth, each other
and self, by encouraging patience, tolerance and compassion.
 This trip will
provide a unique insight into the wonders, people and culture
of Peru. You'll learn from the experience of intercultural immersion,
sharing your time and yourself with the Peruvians of Cusco, the
Sacred Urubamba Valley and Lima. Individual opportunities with
locally based organizations will enable you to get to know the
town of Ollantaytambo, and directly participate in a variety of
ways. Through these experiences, you'll discover new ways of interacting
within foreign cultures, enhance your foreign language skills,
and foster new types of learning.
Participants will be based at in the town of Ollantaytambo, which
will serve as the center of operations for this program. The historic
town is located in the Sacred Valley on the Urubamba River and
is on the railway line to Machu Picchu, It’s the jumping
off point, (the road actually ends here), for the famed ruins
as well as the Inca Trail.

- Seeing the historic ruins of the area
