Peruvian Ties Highlights:
Peruvian Ties begins outside of Lima, in the suburb of Miraflores, an area familiar to many families. You will be captivated by the beauty of Peru as we travel to Arequipa, home to some of Peru’s proudest citizens. The Spanish influence found in Arequipa blends with that of the Incas in Cusco, where we travel next. Surrounded by the Andes Mountains, Cusco serves as a gateway to the Inca civilization. Throughout this area numerous Inca ruins, like the lost city of Machu Picchu, provide a glimpse into this marvelous culture.
But the journey is so much more than the sights. Can you hear the sound of Peruvian pan pipes? Is your mouth watering for Papa A La Huancaina, that delicious potato and cheese dish famous in Peru? And what about the person playing the music or serving the food? After all, it is through the people your child meets that their connection with Peru will be nurtured. Sharing these experiences with other families enriches the journey and creates memories to grow on. 
The Peruvian Ties itinerary includes time to reconnect with people and places important to your family. Some families may wish to meet people important in their child’s life. Others may wish to return to the city where their child was born or places in Lima you stayed or visited when becoming a family. We look forward to hearing from families about their hopes and dreams for the journey and customizing their plans accordingly.
Traveling as a family to your child’s country of birth is a life changing experience. It fosters understanding, nurtures pride, and creates memories.

Read What Families Have To Say:
"The journey of a lifetime revolving around the life of a child." ~ Louise Kirsh
 "Through Peruvian Ties, you will know your own history from experience, not from stories." Theresa Read, 15
"Before committing to this trip, our daughter said something about how odd it felt to be from Peru...but not have any memory of it. At one point in Cusco before the planned group dinner, a bunch of kids put on their purchases - hats, sweaters, ponchos - and posed for a photo op. Our daughter said, "We look like Peruvians - awesome!" ~Deborah Kissinger
"I think that the healthiest outcome of the trip for my daughter is that going with a large group 'normalized' her situation and her adoption story." ~ Bonnie MacAdam
