Do you want to go to Peru at
least once in your lifetime? Walking in the Andes, seeing Machu
Picchu--is that one of your dreams too? Maybe 2008 will be your
year.
You'll never find a better
way to visit Peru than on an Adventure Retreat with Howard and
Gloria. For 13 days, we'll travel through the Incan Empire, from
Cusco to the Sacred Valley, and every day will bring us not just
famous sights, but physical and spirtual rewards, as well.
For the body: Herbal
baths, massages, yoga/chi gong, outdoor excursions, and the best
indigenous vegetarian food to be found.
For the spirit:
Available guided meditation, talking circles, and authentic
Peruvian shamanic ceremonies.
Finally, for those who take
the "adventure" part most seriously, we offer a four day optional
tour of the Peruvian Amazon.
