Join A Trip: 2021
Trip Information
2021
Peru, May (or summer)
We had made plans for Peru, May, 4-12, 2021 (yes, that’s next month). However, with Peru’s Covid cases rising again and a rather fluid situation with Peru’s quarantine guidelines, we have opted to hold off confirming this trip. We are coordinating with local teams there, and hope to know more soon.
Russia, October
At present, Russia is still not issuing visas for US citizens, and even those who have a current visa are not permitted to enter Russia. Once Russia begins allowing US citizens to enter the country and freely move about, we will plan to pull a trip together.
If possible, we would like to travel to Moscow, Krasnodar, and Maykop – our regular October itinerary – plus any new areas that are willing to invite us.
