🧑‍🎨Creative confidence does not have to come before you begin. Often it comes because you begin.Pages of Peru welcomes all experience levels. Jeanne Hougen will provide practical instruction and encouragement, but there is no pressure to produce finished work. The purpose is to observe, experiment, and reconnect with the creative part of yourself.
🫶🏼Non-art spouses and friends are welcome too.
⭐️Tag someone who keeps saying, ‘I’m not really an artist.’

Pages of Peru combines visual journaling, cultural immersion, and a thoughtfully paced journey through the Sacred Valley. It is open to all genders and experience levels. Beginners are genuinely welcome, experienced artists will have space to experiment, and spouses or friends may join without participating in the art classes. The goal is not perfect artwork. It is to see more deeply and return with a personal record of the colors, stories, and moments that made the journey meaningful. May 14–22, 2027.

The Hike & Culture Adventure is designed for travelers who want to experience Peru on foot. We will walk ancient trails, spend time in mountain landscapes, learn from local guides, visit archaeological sites and return each evening to comfortable accommodations, good food and community.��Most hiking days are satisfying day hikes for generally fit people who already enjoy being active. The Huchuy Qosqo route is the longest and highest day, and altitude is an important consideration, but the overall journey is about exploration rather than endurance for its own sake.��April 28-May 6, 2027.

The full itinerary and physical requirements are available on the trip page.

Three trips. Three completely different ways to experience Peru.

🥾 Hike & Culture Adventure
For active travelers who want to explore the Sacred Valley on foot, experience Peruvian culture beyond the usual tourist stops, and share the adventure with a small group.

🎨 Pages of Peru
For travelers who want to slow down, notice more, and experience Peru through art journaling, creativity, culture, and connection.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Cultural Excursion for Families
For families who want to give their kids something bigger than a vacation: an adventure filled with culture, exploration, new experiences, and memories made together.

They have different itineraries and are designed for different travelers, but all three share what matters most to RasVida: meaningful experiences, authentic cultural connection, thoughtful small-group travel, and the chance to experience a place rather than simply see it.

Which way would you choose to experience Peru?

Peru has a way of making you feel more awake—to color, history, landscape, food, and the people around you.

⭐ Some of Peru’s most beautiful places are best experienced on foot.

The Peru Hike & Culture Adventure is designed for active travelers who enjoy good day hikes, time in nature and discovering a country beyond the road. About half the journey includes hiking—generally three to eight miles on nontechnical trails with loose rock, stone steps and elevation changes. Other days combine active sightseeing with villages, markets and archaeological sites.

🌄 Most hikes will feel like satisfying day hikes for generally fit travelers. The route to Huchuy Qosqo is the longest and highest day, approaching 14,000 feet, and altitude can make even moderate terrain feel more demanding. The itinerary includes time to acclimatize, with most nights spent at a lower elevation in Calca.

This is a strong fit for active adults who want mountain scenery, meaningful cultural immersion, comfortable accommodations, excellent meals and the connection of a thoughtfully supported small group.

When the group goes away the guides go to play!! 😎

Snuck in an epic post-trip adventure with to one of the most breathtaking spots in Cusco -🏔️La Laguna Humantay! The hike climbs to nearly 14,000 ft and every breathless step is worth it for that surreal turquoise beauty. 💙

Just when we thought we were done with the huffing and puffing, surprise! The road was completely gone - dug up and impassable. So we got a 75 minute bonus hike over a big landslide to get back to our car. 🥾🚗
Unexpected challenges and unforgettable memories!
