Dates The trip will take place December 15 – December 22, 2019. ADRA CNX will have staff waiting for you on December 15 at the Cusco airport (CUZ) and take you by bus to our base camp, which is two hours away. This is where all participants will meet. If you want to fly in earlier, you are welcomed to do so; just let us know beforehand and make sure you're there to meet us at the airport on December 15th.
Project Location & Living Conditions The Warm Homes project takes place in remote Andes mountain communities located to the south of Cusco. We will be staying each night at Camp Chuquicahuana, run by ADRA Perú. We will be staying the the base camp dormitory. There, we will have access to showers and bathrooms with running hot water. Keep in mind that the seasons are opposite in the southern hemisphere, so it will be spring. Also, we will be up in the mountains, so expect varying temperatures (High 70°F/ Low 50°F). The mornings tend to be colder, but the sun warms things up nicely throughout the day. 😊
Group Size This trip can host 15-30 people, but we will flex/shrink as needed to try to let as many go who have the desire. *The CNX team reserves the right to cancel if there are not enough participants by the prior designated trip date. Refunds will be issued.
Cost per Person
Airfare and Fees You will have to coordinate your own airfare as an individual. The cost of the airfare will not be sent to ADRA as you will give that directly to the airline. The cost of this trip does NOT include any visa fees, passport application fees, vaccinations, luggage fees, or transportation to/from airport in the US. Basically, once you get to Cusco on December 15, we’ll take care of everything else. *A tourist visa is not required in Peru for individuals with a valid U.S. passport.
