About
Colibrí Journeys takes you to the Sacred Valley, in the heart of the Andes, where you can experience the beauty, generosity and vibrant abundance of Peruvian culture. A blend of adventure, education, cultural immersion and exchange allows you to explore, share and connect with this rich and humbling place. We will traverse a wide variety of landscapes, from the snow capped peaks of the Andes, thru the rolling altiplano, down the lush Urubamba Valley to the misty mountainous jungle of Machu Picchu.
Regular Spanish and Quechua classes, volunteer projects, and visits to local families and schools give you unique opportunities to connect directly with the sweetness of the Andean people and give back with your own hands. Botanical gardens, nurseries and plant walks teach us about the natural dyes and medicines of the Andes, fruitful fields of the valley, and the potent diversity of the rainforest. We will learn directly from local experts, professional guides and museums about the rich spirit and deep traditions of the indigenous people who have sustained their culture for millennia.
Art markets, incredible food, ancient ceremony, Inca temples, traditional music and dance will fill our days with the color, joy and mystery of this most precious place on earth. Colibrí Journeys is committed to navigating our experiences and relationships with a growing awareness of what it means to be a guest in an indigenous homeland. We recognize the impact that travelers have on a cultural and ecological level and strive to be a positive influence on rather than a consumer of this vibrant and evolving society.
This is an incredible 16 day experience that will open your heart and nourish your spirit. It is designed to be family-friendly: children, couples, and individuals of all ages are welcome to join. You will be well taken care of and learn how to travel, connect and give back in a healthy, culturally immersive and sensitive way.
