This is not a typical trip presentation.
You already know you want to go to Machu Picchu. But what else should you do with your bucket list trip to Peru? Join Quasar and local chef Brisa Deneumostier Lizárraga for a journey through Peru's lesser-known wonders.
Beyond Machu Picchu's famous terraces, you'll find a country whose Incan roots remain woven into the fabric of modern society. As a seasoned guide of culinary, hiking, and energy healing experiences, Brisa can take you to communities who still practice ancient traditions you'll feel privileged to witness.
During this live virtual expedition, we'll go far beyond the landmarks you already know, and take you deeper into the Peruvian Andes. We'll guide you through brilliantly colorful Quechua communities, introduce you to shamans and talented local weavers, treat you to a luxurious private picnic, and lead you to breathtaking lakeside soaking pools and private that feel continents away from ordinary.
Let us show you the essence of real luxury: True exclusivity, where every detail is crafted just for you.
Be sure to bring your questions about traveling in Peru. We'll leave plenty of time for a Q&A.
