Why This Trip |
This trip is for you if you:
- Enjoy waking up late, partying at night, and eating great food
- Want
to see the beautiful sites while keeping hiking to a minimum
(1 day of hiking)
Enjoy cultural activities
- Aren't going to keep asking Andy
if he actually knows Spanish or is just making it up as he
goes
- You don't want to wait until May 20 to find out your Random
Walk assignment. Peru registrations are accepted mostly
on a first-come, first-served basis!
This trip is not for you if:
- You're not fun
- Don't enjoy cultural activities
- Can’t be at high altitudes
- Smell
- Don't have a relaxed personality
- You are not 100% committed
to attending Chicago Booth. In order to try to secure permits for the Inca
Trail, we will need to collect final payment as soon as this
trip is full . . . likely in April.
