The hub is for kids from 8 to 14 years old. If someone has younger children, we can help set something up for them with a local kindergarten that we have been working with. The maximum group size is 14 participants.

In that case, please talk directly to us, and we might be able to come up with something. We take each case like this individually.

The weeks can be very different from one another. Every week, we will have at least one big excursion and many workshops where children can learn things such as rope access, ceramics, agriculture, handicrafts, local fauna, geography, history, etc. The structure can change according to the weather.

It is a drop-off program, but parents can join us for an additional fee. Parents are welcome to join the excursions, but it is not necessary to come.

The language of the hub is English. We do Spanish classes as part of the cultural immersion, but it is not necessary to speak Spanish to come here.

Lunch is an option for parents, so they don't have to worry about it. Regarding allergies and dietary restrictions, parents will fill out a form before starting the hub, so we will be properly informed about them. If the restrictions are too many, we might not be able to provide food for the child.

In the price, we include all activities, transportation, and the drop-off hub from Monday to Thursday, from 9am to 3pm. What is not included are meals and weekend activities. We also include access to our community, where I, Rodrigo, will provide travel advice and organise optional weekend activities for everyone.

It does, but in my experience, altitude usually affects children less than adults.

We want to get to know who is coming to the hub. This is important because we want to know about the likes and dislikes of the children, as well as explain what we are about. We want everyone to have an incredible time in our adventure hubs, but we are aware that our style might not be compatible with everyone.

A $400 non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your place. If your plans change, you can transfer your deposit to different dates, as long as you let us know at least one month before the start of the hub.

Once your place in the hub is confirmed, we will send you a curated list of accommodation options that we know and trust.

We will include useful information such as the approximate travel time to the hub, so you can choose something that makes sense for your family.

There is a wide range of accommodation in and around Urubamba. As a general guide, a family of four should expect to budget around $1,000–$1,500 per month for a comfortable short-term rental, although prices vary depending on the size, location, and quality of the property.

→ What a Month in the Sacred Valley Costs

For families coming to our hub, you don't need to figure out the airport transfer yourself. I arrange for a driver to meet you at the airport and take you directly to the Sacred Valley. The cost of the taxi is not included in the hub price.

If you are travelling with children, I strongly recommend arriving in Cusco during the morning or early afternoon, if possible. That way, you can make the drive during daylight and actually see the landscape.

→ Getting Here and Settling In

If the hub begins on a Monday, I recommend arriving at least two or three days beforehand.

You can arrive later if necessary, but having those extra days makes everything easier. First, there is the altitude. Your body needs some time to adjust, and there is no reason to arrive on Sunday evening and expect everyone to be ready for a full program first thing Monday morning.

Second, travelling with children always takes longer than you think!

→ Altitude and Acclimatization with Children

For most families staying in Urubamba, I don't think you need to rent a car for the whole month.

Urubamba is relatively compact. You can walk to many places, and mototaxis are everywhere for short trips. For longer journeys between towns, there are colectivos and buses. These are very inexpensive, usually around $1–$2 per person, depending on the destination.

Taxis are also available, but Uber does not operate here. We can share contacts for trusted local drivers who can take you around the valley when needed.

For the hub itself, we will explain the easiest transport options for your particular accommodation.

I live and work in Urubamba, and I depend on the internet every day. I teach online lessons that require a stable and reliable connection, and so far, I have personally never had a connection problem that prevented me from working.

That does not mean every house in the Sacred Valley has excellent internet. I would strongly recommend checking the connection before booking accommodation. Do not simply see the word "Wi-Fi" in an Airbnb listing and assume that it will be suitable for remote work.

As a backup, I also recommend having a local SIM card with mobile data. Mobile internet is generally quite reliable here and can be a useful backup if your accommodation's Wi-Fi has problems.
