We are incredibly excited to be able to offer a virtual tour of Machu Picchu on the winter solstice (June 21, 2021), the most important day of the year. Together we’ll witness what happens when the first light of the sunrise hits the Temple of the Sun on the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s an incredibly unique experience that has never before been offered, so we hope you’ll be able to join us! It’s completely free, and tip supported.
For the past 3+ months our Papi’s Treks founder Mike has been developing and running virtual tours, a completely new experience! What has this been like for a small business and local tour operator like us?
We didn’t really know what to expect, but we’ve been overwhelmed with the response. It has helped the company not only to survive difficult times but to thrive, and more importantly, it has enabled us to keep supporting local families and communities. Keep reading to find out more!
Super excited to now also be working with Context Travel and hosting virtual tours and seminar sessions!
