Inca Trail Trek to Machu Picchu
Departures Twice Weekly (Saturdays + Mondays)

2019 Permits on sale NOW!

This fully comprehensive trek offers you the opportunity to explore the most picturesque regions of the Andes including visits to Cusco, the Sacred Valley and of course, Machu Picchu.

While most programs force trekkers to speed through the stunning high-altitude Inca Trail, we take the time to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience and time the trek in a way that ensures quiet campsites and an intimate hiking experience. The hikes average six to seven hours each day, including time to explore the Inca sites we pass through and to take in the unparalleled scenery.

This program is specially designed to offer a more relaxed trek and a deeper understanding of Inca culture.

Meet the tour leader: Krystal Chesnutt (@krystalchesnuttyoga) is interested in using the practice of yoga to allow us to live for the all of it. She includes the grace of flow, curiosities of alignment and the exploration of who we are at this time. Yoga is the way to unveil the deepest layers of ourselves so that we may have contentment with life unfolding just as it is. Krystal challenges you to find your limits, and meets fear and resistance with love and whole heart. We are so excited to practice with Krystal in Costa Rica at the end of May. What are your Memorial Day plans?! Email us to learn more: info@rootadventures.com
Coffee is steeped (pun most certainly intended) in tradition all over the world. What's your favorite coffee tradition?! I like to enjoy mine while reading a book early morning before the world and more importantly, my family, wakes up!⠀ ⠀ If you want to learn a bit more about the history of coffee, first discovered in Ethiopia and can't make an Ethiopia trip happen right now, you can get a taste of the culture and community by experiencing an Ethiopia coffee ceremony at your local cafe. For those of you in Denver, be sure to check out @whittiercafe every Sunday at 2pm!
“The best way to look back at life fondly is to meet it - and those along your journey - warmly, kindly and mindfully” ⠀ ― Rasheed Ogunlar
sonder: everyone has a story⠀ "the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk."⠀ ⠀ Definition from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows⠀ ⠀ See details on our Ethiopia trip here: rootadventures.com/whittierinethiopia⠀
8 years ago, our Ethiopia tour leader's cousin was in need of a new kidney. A complete stranger, mother of 3, and profoundly generous soul, Latrice Coleman (➡️ for photo) stepped up to donate her own kidney! Since this time, Latrice has felt a connection to Ethiopia and has always dreamt of visiting the home country of the woman who homes her kidney. . In an effort to help Latrice reach her goal and join us on our Whittier in Ethiopia trip, Millete, owner of @whittiercafe and Breanne, owner of @rootadventures have committed to match donations up to $2,000. Please help us give back to the woman who has offered a literal piece of herself to make the world a better place. {LINK IN BIO} We should all be so lucky to know a woman like Latrice!
Ethiopia has a total of nine UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the holy city of Lalibela and we will see at least 3 on our trip leaving May 9! Cannot wait to immerse ourselves in the rich history! Call to learn more! . 📷: @lhinafrica
The gelada baboon is the likely the most notable of the endemic Ethiopian species. Though, it has some tough competition...Ethiopia has an extraordinary range of wildlife with 242 listed mammal species, 28 of which are endemic. Share your favorite wildlife sighting!!
“Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.” ⠀ ― Jacques Barzun⠀ .⠀ Travel is an amazing teacher. Come learn with us! Call 720.206.3792 for more information.
Ethiopia is the only African country never to have been brought under colonial control. The Italians did attempt colonisation in and were successful for 6 years before Ethiopian forces were successful in pushing them out. The Italians did leave behind additional infrastructure such as railways and buildings, so it was ultimately a win for the country.⠀ ⠀ Join us in May for your chance to explore this off-the-beaten-path gem. Call us to learn more: 720.206.3792 . . 📷: brotherjeff.com
We caught the oh so talented, @thewideeyedworld, in action in Baja. We're so lucky to have Leslie join us in Ethiopia in just over a month! She's a true story teller, so we're sure we'll have lots to share upon our return.⠀ .⠀ We are also sponsoring at least one person adopted from Ethiopia a chance to join us on our journey. If you are interested in sponsoring or are a person of Ethiopian descent and want to join, please email info@rootadventures.com
