ABOUT PERU FAMILY IMMERSION
Add an unforgettable week to your Peru experience by exploring the glorious Sacred Valley together as a family and in community with other worldschooling families. Unlike our Signature Immersion, this is not a drop-off program. Rather, each family member’s fee opens doors to deeply memorable, culturally-rich activities.
This is not just a place to play and talk together — Family Immersion is culturally-rich, educational, and deeply connected to Peruvian history, like all of our programming.
We’ve chosen a beautiful, private property for Family Immersion with four apartments and one house so that families can spend time together during quieter moments, wandering the flower-guilded paths, stretching in the yoga space, preparing a snack in the shared kitchen, or relaxing in the sunshine. The property includes winding paths, vining flowers, lawn space for play, a communal kitchen, a lovely yoga space, and a resident cat.
