✨ Backpacking in Peruvian Andes ✨
This trip is about you.
It’s about pressing pause on the busyness of life and stepping into something deeper. A space where adventure meets stillness, and where you can breathe again. Together, we’ll explore the beauty and culture of Peru, wandering the historic streets of Cusco, backpacking through the breathtaking Andes, standing in awe at Machu Picchu, soaking in natural hot springs, and serving and connecting with the local people.
But even more meaningful than the adventure is the connection. Connection with other incredible women walking a similar path. Connection with yourself. And connection with God. Each morning begins with Scripture study, and each evening we’ll gather for devotionals, reflecting on where we saw His hand throughout the day.
This journey will stretch you. Backpacking at high elevation through the Andes is no small thing. There will be moments that are physically demanding, moments where you will have to dig deep and keep going. But those are often the moments that change you. The feeling of doing something truly hard, of pushing past what you thought you were capable of, is something you do not leave in Peru. You take it home with you. It becomes part of who you are, stronger, more confident, and more certain that with God’s help, you can do hard things.
Whether you are single, married, divorced, or anywhere in between, if you are 21 or older, this retreat was created for you. You will return home refreshed, strengthened, and surrounded by friendships that feel deep, real, and lasting.
This is not just a trip. It is a sacred invitation to disconnect from the noise, step into the mountains, and rediscover the woman God created you to be.

Get ready for a powerful balance of adventure and renewal. You will backpack through the Andes on the Lares Trek, reaching nearly 15,000 feet and discovering a strength within you that you will carry home.
Along the way, we will connect with local families, deliver donations to children, and share a traditional Pachamanca feast under the open sky. You will stand in awe at Machu Picchu and explore the streets of Cusco and Aguas Calientes.
Each day will invite you to push yourself, slow down, and connect more deeply with other women, with yourself, and with God.
As you fly home, you won’t be the same person who arrived. You’ll carry with you a stronger body, a clearer mind, and a heart more in tune with God. You’ll have lasting friendships with other women who lifted and inspired you, and unforgettable memories of adventure, service, and spiritual growth. This trip will have stretched you, shaped you, and reminded you who you truly are—and what you’re capable of becoming.
Wilderness Experiences exists to help people disconnect from the world and connect with God! We do this by taking groups on phone free trips all over the world. Our groups go into the Wilderness to experience God’s creation and participate in outdoor adventure. Our trips are designed to be hard! You will come home knowing 2 things; You can do hard things. You are a child of God.
