Edmund Burke School Peru 2026
June 8, 2026
Our day truly did start at 12PM on a flight from Lima to Cusco and the events leading up to that were a tough travel day. We started on the 7th at 9am in DCA, and our flight from there to Peru kept getting delayed and delayed until we finally boarded, but once we did we still didn’t leave for another 2 and half hours. Therefore, we completely missed our flight from Miami to Lima, so we had to spend 5 ish hours in the Miami airport. Then we got on our flight finally at 11:30pm on the 7th and made it to our hotel in Lima at 5:30am on the 8th.
We had breakfast in the hotel lobby where we learned about the Peruvian presidential election and that it was very close. After breakfast we went to the national Lima airport to take another flight to Cuzco. After a flight that was actually on time for once, we got to Cuzco. We went to the city to have lunch which was alpaca steak and maracuya (passionfruit) juice and some yummy chocolate cake. After lunch, we watched some little kids dancing in the streets for the Cuzco Founding Party. Then, we drove to a llama and alpaca farm where we fed the llamas and the alpacas – which was kind of unfortunate after just eating alpaca, but oh well. Finally we arrived at the hotel and played futbol with chairs as goals in the yard of the hotel. Then it was time for bed and some much needed rest.
