Join SideQuests host Ryan on this amazing 8-day adventure trough Peru's most iconic landscapes. We'll land in Lima, diving headfirst into one of South America's greatest food cities: ceviche, pisco sours, and a welcome dinner inside ancient archaeological ruins. From there, we take an included flight up into the Andes to Cusco, where we'll spend a few days getting lost in cobblestone streets, learning to cook traditional Andean dishes, and experiencing the beauty of the living at 11,000 feet! Then, we drop into the Sacred Valley where terraced hillsides, Inca fortresses, and open-air markets accentuate to the natural beauty of this breathtaking region. And at last, we board a panoramic train that takes us through the mountains to the Amazonian cloud-forest for our grand finale: Machu Picchu. . There's a reason people cry when they get there. It's that good; it's that unbelievable.
Meet our new SideQuests Host, Ryan Lee
Ryan believes community isn’t optional for queer people, it’s survival. It’s shared language, you know, that quiet relief of not having to explain yourself. When he hosts trips, that invisible layer of tension so many LGBTQ+ travelers carry simply disappears. What replaces it is care, humor, and a group that looks out for each other instinctively.
As a full-time digital nomad since 2022, Ryan has traveled to nearly 40 countries and brings deep on-the-ground experience to every trip. He’s the founder of Capsule Adventures, a sober travel company, and has led multi-day group experiences across multiple continents, managing logistics, safety, group dynamics, and all the little details that make a trip feel seamless.
