The T’28 Pre-Term Adventure in Peru is a 11-day/10-night journey into the heart of the Peruvian Andes and the Sacred Valley. From the vibrant streets of Cusco to an immersive homestay with the Huilloc community, you’ll experience the authentic soul of the region. The adventure culminates in the breathtaking Salkantay Trek, leading you directly into Machu Picchu—one of the world’s most spectacular and mysterious ancient wonders. Tuck Partners are welcome to join!
Please note, this is not a Tuck sanctioned trip. The Terraffinity division of Terraficionados Travel Society & Journeymakers (founded and operated by Chris Clark, T’03) is pleased to organize this trip. Terraficionados has offered these types of Pre-Term Adventure Trips to Croatia and Peru for incoming Tuckies for several years.
Why a Pre-Term Adventure
For years, we have offered pre-term adventures designed specifically for incoming Tuckies. We are delighted that past participants consistently describe these trips as transformative highlights of their MBA start. By blending cultural exploration, active adventure, and local community immersion, students gain a rich, well-rounded perspective of their destination—all while forging deep bonds with their future classmates before the two-year journey at Tuck begins.
