Your travel and flight coordinator is Shary Keimach. Please contact her for all details regarding trip payments, airline tickets, or any information you might need to help with your flight arrangements between your point of origin and Lima, Peru. Her direct number in the United States is: 480 980 8117 or contact her via email.

UPDATE: 1/ 26/ 10
Because of recent reports from Peru about heavy rains and travel problems in the Cusco/ Machu Picchu region, we have contacted our office in Lima for details. We wanted to be certain our scheduled trip to that area would still be possible, and safely done. What we were told is that the issues facing the region should be well over before we arrive. With this in mind, the trip remains on the schedule as planned. If we receive any news to change this decision it will be posted here.

UPDATE: 2/ 01/ 10
Our trip has been postponed due to heavy devastation in the Cusco/ Sacred Valley/ Machu Picchu areas. If you have already bought airline tickets you should contact your travel insurance company at once. This trip will be rescheduled later this year if conditions permit. As of this writing, the infrastructure has been destroyed to a point it might be a year before it is safe to return.

TRIP INSURANCE
Uncertain events shape our world requiring us to consider basic questions regarding how we will respond to events. We require trip insurance as a means to protect your investment, and provide you with a peace of mind in the event plans, or your needs, change. It might not be something you will use during your travels. We hope this is the case. However, should you need it, (and we have at times) trip insurance is a valuable asset. The cost is low for the protection received. Whether you purchase trip insurance through Xpeditions or another source, it is required when joining our excursions. To find out more, or purchase your trip insurance, please refer to the "Trip Insurance" icon above.

TRAVEL
If you intend to join our journey to Peru it is important you begin checking airfares NOW. Additionally, you must have a valid passport, good for greater than 6 months, to enter Peru. If you have not checked your passport lately, or do not have one, it is time to take care of this detail. DO NOT wait until later. It takes time to receive a passport and the cost is cheap if you can wait the 6 or so weeks it normally takes. If you wait and then need to get one quickly it can cost $100 or more.

CONSIDER WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Read over the packing list (see link above). Start picking up a few things now. The expense will seem less if you buy your needed clothing a little at a time. Need help or suggestions? Contact Kathy or me (602 604 0212).
