Calling all future high Inca earners!

Picchu yourself in Peru.

You came to B-School for adventure and to make your friends back home (and wherever you’ve been working) jealous. It’s time to start on your Insta highlights. Let us help.

Pisco sours overlooking the ocean. Rainbow mountains glistening in the sun. Llamas prancing through the Andes.

This trek offers you a taste of it all.

We’ll start in Lima before hopping to Cusco. After a day to acclimate, it’s off to explore Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley and other highlights. Then, we’ll pass back through Lima as we offer sage wisdom. How to keep your feet from sticking to the Skeeps floor. How you will be able to handle anything the Rick’s bartender slings your way after practicing at altitude. How many times it is socially acceptable to consume ceviche in a week.

We’re an eclectic mix of MBAs, Dual Degrees and gainfully employed Partners. We’ll even have a future doctor traveling with us so you’re absolutely in good hands.* We can’t wait to take the best picture with the Ross flag and we want you there.

*Moderate hands. Legal disclaimer, etc.

On a more serious note, you can’t pick a better group to travel with to one of the more unique MTrek destinations for this year. While I might only be tagging only because of the promise of pisco sours, can you imagine the sights to be seen and the food to be had?

Anyway, here’s Wonderwall…
