Cusco & Machu Picchu Field Trip

A group of 16 took a field trip after the conference, 14-17 September 2024, to Cusco and Machu Picchu. This fully guided tour departed from Lima. We visited the Sacred Valley watershed, and ancestral irrigation and land management systems. We travelled to the fascinating lost citadel of Machu Picchu with its intriguing buildings and saw incredible Andean views. Arcos Learning Abroad led this field trip.
