From October 22nd to November 3rd, 2027, YU Taekwondo invites you to an unforgettable Peru Expedition combining martial arts, culture, nature and personal development.

Our journey begins in Lima and takes us through some of Peru’s most fascinating regions – from the Andes and the ancient world of the Inca and Moche to the heart of the Amazon rainforest.

During the expedition, we will explore extraordinary places such as Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Sacsayhuamán and Rainbow Mountain. We will also discover the traditions and history of the Moche culture before continuing to Iquitos and the Amazon.

Along the way, the journey includes YU Taekwondo training in unique locations, meditation, mental training, cultural experiences, nature activities and unforgettable shared moments as a YU community.

From mountain landscapes at over 5,000 metres to jungle expeditions, wildlife experiences and boat journeys through the Amazon, every part of this trip offers a new perspective and a new challenge.

Join us for 13 unforgettable days filled with martial arts, culture, nature, adventure and personal growth – and create memories that will stay with you long after the journey is over.
