PERUVIAN CONNECTIONS
Summer 2012 - Please let us know if you are interested.
The Ties Program is pleased to announce the opening of Peruvian Connections in 2011. A new, less expensive travel option, Peruvian Connections provides a well rounded in country experience that is educational, meaningful, and FUN.
Unlike a traditional Ties program which is staffed by an English, speaking national guide, a Ties travel coordinator as well as an adoption professional, Peruvian Connections families will be accompanied by an English speaking Peruvian guide. Shorter than the traditional Peruvian Ties program, the details of Peruvian Connections will still be coordinated by The Ties Program.
With no need to worry about details, your focus can rightfully be on family, culture, and relationships.

Peruvian Connections Highlights:
- See the sights and experience the culture of Peru
- Assistance with arrangements for families wishing to visit people and places important in their child's life
- Child Friendly & "Adoption Aware"
- Humanitarian aid via Project Kindness
 Peruvian Connections begins outside of Lima, in the suburb of Miraflores, an area familiar to many families. Then travel to Cusco where the history of the Incas comes alive. Throughout this area numerous Inca ruins, like the lost city of Machu Picchu, provide a glimpse into this marvelous culture. During your stay you will be captivated by the beauty of the Sacred Valley and amazed by all that Pisac Market has to offer.
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.
Some families may wish to extend their stay in Peru to reconnect with people and places important in their child's life. 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 life long 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
"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
“I had never been on an organized tour before. For the kids especially, traveling in a group was an incredible support.” Jacq. Madden
“For the first time in my life, I felt complete and at peace with who I am.” Landy Hancock, 18
"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
“The care and planning out custom details for each family was outstanding.” Dave Gorgen
"Thanks for putting together such a wonderful trip. It was an experience that changed how I look at the world." Sahni Moore, age 20
