PAYMENT PLANS FOR FLIGHTS?
Payment plans for flights are a thing and we have compiled a list of ‘Must Do’ hacks and cost-effective options to plan your next trip of a lifetime. Find out more here.
You’ll need to handle:
Flights - from wherever in the world you’re joining us from.
Travel insurance - You are responsible for obtaining your own travel insurance. Travel insurance is not required but it is recommended, I recommend World Nomads. Nevertheless, it is your responsibility to research travel insurance companies in your location and select an insurer that covers any potential flight cancellations and/or medical coverage abroad.
Visas and vaccinations - Citizens of the U.S, Canadians & most other countries do not need a visa for Peru. Please use the resources linked below to confirm the appropriate visa requirements.

Spending money in local currency - for extra drinks, snacks, souvenirs, and lunch/dinners not included. I suggest bringing $150-$300 spending money during the trip depending on your spending habits.
Can I come alone or do I have to come with someone?
Either or! The great thing about These travel meet-ups is that it's a wonderful opportunity to connect with other like-minded travelers and make new friendships. More than half of our guests are coming solo and a few are bringing a bestie or two!
