Tuck Class of 2024 International Adventures: Peru

Tuck Dartmouth logoTerraffinity Special Interest Group Travel

The Terraffinity division of Terraficionados Travel Society & Journeymakers (founded and operated by Chris Clark, T’03) is pleased to be working with the Tuck MBA program office once again to provide a pre-term International Adventure program for the incoming class of T’24s!


The T’24 International Adventure in Peru features an 11 day / 10 night itinerary which is centered around the heart of the Sacred Valley in the Peruvian Andes. You will spend time in the vibrant city of Cuzco; you will have an opportunity live and work amongst the Huilloc community in a short homestay program; and you will undertake the Salkantay Trek into Machu Picchu – truly one of the most spectacular and mysterious ancient ruins on Earth. Tuck Partners are welcome to join!

NOTE: In light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we are maintaining flexibility to cancel this trip and return all deposits / payments if it is deemed unsafe to travel to Peru. In such a situation, this would override the payment / cancellation / refund terms outlined in the “What’s Next” section of this webpage. We will closely monitor the situation and will provide frequent updates to trip registrants. From a pandemic perspective, this trip will be confirmed as a go or no-go as of June 15, 2022.  After this date, all payments will be non-refundable. Terraficionados strongly advises that students obtain Travel Insurance to protect their investment in this trip.

The Goal

The goal for this trip is three-fold:

  1. Provide a meaningful international travel experience where incoming Tuckies can bond deeply with each other before embarking on their 2 year journey at Tuck
  2. Combine a mix of ‘touring’, active content, and local community immersion to provide a well rounded perspective on the destination
  3. Have fun!!

We have been working with Tuck to offer these international adventures for incoming Tuckies for several years now. We are thrilled that students who have participated in these programs in the past have had a wonderful experience, and we’ve solicited their feedback on how to make the experience even better! This feedback is ingrained in this year’s trip offering, and we expect these to be the best trips yet!
