Venture Overview
The Inca sun-god, Inti, was eclipsed when the Spanish conquistadors killed the last Inca Emperor, Atahualpa, in 1532. Inca Venture explores the jungles, deserts, and high Andes of the Inca Empire, between Atahualpa’s northern outpost, Quito and his southern capital Cusco, the “Naval of the Universe”.
Three phases make one Venture:
- Learn Spanish!
- Live and work with a remote Inca community!
- Wilderness exploration on the hidden inca trail to Machu Picchu!
