Upcoming events (4+)
See all- FREE Movie Night w/ FREE Popcorn: A Real PainAutry Museum in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, CA
*CROSS-POSTED* Hi Friends! It's time for another movie night, but this time it's FREE ADMISSION with FREE POPCORN (if you're early, first 500 guests)! Network, bring friends out, make new friends- all are welcome.
I will be working the event but will swing by to say hello of course. An area will be set aside for everyone to sit together but if it gets busy, I cannot guarantee that there will be space. So early arrival is recommended to snag a spot.
Bring a blanket or low chair (like a beach chair, no camping chairs) to sit on. It usually gets cold at night, so a warm jacket is recommended as well.
Please note RSVP window closes at 10am on August 9th so I have time to add everyone to the guest list, so RSVP early!
See you there :)

*Event details are subject to change - MACHU PICCHU via the epic Salkantay Trail. Experience wild PeruLAX, Los Angeles, CA
Discover the awe-inspiring journey to Machu Picchu with our three distinct options, each offering its own charm and adventure. As a Meetup, we travel as a group and still are able to tailor your Machu Picchu adventure according to your preferences and interests.
This event is for the hikers and trekkers, interested in The Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu. This is a 4-Day hike on the ancient and remote footpath located in the same region as the Inca Trail where massive snow-capped mountains collide with lush tropical rainforests. It is less travelled than the Inca Trail, with breathtaking vistas! Considered by many the better alternate to get to Machu Picchu. It is also not that heavily regulated with government taxes and fees. Hence, the good price!
The Inca Trail is the "tourist" route. We are doing the 1-day hike, which is the second half of the classic Inca Trek and a full day at Machu Picchu. It is shorter and less difficult than the Salkantay. The views are stunning - mostly rainforest canopy and ancient historic sights. Those who are interested in this way to reach Machu Picchu, CLICK HERE to find the event.
The Train is just as it sounds. No long hike. Travel by rail and with less effort. This is intended for people with less mobility or those who wish to glamp it a bit. They will be traveling with the Inca Trail group, but instead of hiking for one full day, can opt for the convenience of the train ride. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO
Peru is an amazing place with many unbelievable surprises. We are sampling a little bit of everything - from the tall peaks of the Andes, to the majestic Inca ruins, to the Peruvian Jungle and not to forget...the famous Peruvian food and the pisco sour!!! This is a trip of a lifetime indeed!
Come enjoy this beautiful country the way you want. Visit Lima, the capital and sample some of the most famous fusion cuisine. Visit Cusco, the religious and administrative capital of the Inca Empire. Learn about the history of the Inca people and their amazing accomplishments. Then enjoy a stunning 4-day hike on the Salkantay Trail, culminating with a full day spent at Machu Picchu!
