The cost of the trip per person is $5,700 for double occupancy, meaning that you will share a room with someone. We encourage you to invite along a spouse, family member, friend, etc.
If you come alone we could partner you with another single person of the same gender, if available. But if another single person isn't available or if you would like to have your own room, it will cost an additional $1,455.
The $5,700/person cost includes:
Yes, your family is invited! Although, we do only recommend family members ages 12 and older. This trip requires a LOT of walking and has a very set schedule with travel, meal times, tour times, etc.
If you feel that your child under the age of 12 would still be a good tour companion, then please reach out to Mia Paredes at [email protected] and let's talk!
YES, each person on this trip must have a valid passport. Additionally, your passport must still be valid 6 months after the return date of the trip. Meaning your passport must be valid through August 26, 2027.
If you are a U.S. citizen, you can apply for or renew your passport HERE.
If you are not a U.S. citizen and need to apply for or renew your passport, you will need to contact the embassy or consulate of your nation of origin.
Yes, regardless of nationality everyone is required to obtain either a valid visa or Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA-IL) before the trip.
Which of those do you need? ⬇️
