Why Eat Turkey When You Can Try Guinea Pig?

Skip the traditional Macy’s Parade, too much turkey and pumpkin pie and red wine. (oops, maybe that’s just me)  Give it a go on the O.A.R.S. Peru Multi-Sport Adventure this Thanksgiving instead.

O.A.R.S. offers one of the most diverse multi-sport adventures found anywhere.  Go whitewater rafting on the Class II-IV Urubamba River through the Sacred Valley.  Explore fascinating archaeological remnants of the Inca civilization.  Stay in luxurious Peruvian lodges.  Try the local fare (Yes, guinea pig is an option.*)  Visit the stone ruins of Kenko, Puca Pucara, Tambomachay, Sacsayhuaman & Ollantaytambo, as well as the Chinchero Market.  Of course, no Peru vacation would be complete without a visit to Machu Picchu now would it?  This journey includes a two-day exploration of South America’s most renowned archaeological sites.

*Andean cuisine is known for exotic fruits, fish and seafood, as well as potatoes of all shapes, sizes and preparations. Some unusual culinary traditions have survived for thousands of years and you may have the opportunity to sample an old family favorite, guinea pig.
