¡CARNIVAL ES DIVERTIDO!
SAFE ARRIVAL IN INDIA!
Dear family and friends of the Spring ’24 PDXchange group,
The PDXchange group has arrived safely in India! They are on their way to their hostel in Bangalore where they’ll be spending the next few days for their orientation. They are ready to rest after their long travels, and look forward to learning more about the program and India in the coming days. We look forward to their updates – they will post an update about their orientation early next week.
All the best,

LEAVING ORIENTATION FOR OUR FIRST TREK!
Our three-day introduction to Bolivia includes visits to the El Fuerte Archaeological Site and Bosque de Los Helechos, both gentle hikes designed to familiarize the students with the basics needed for the treks ahead. José, our trek expert, shares his wisdom, guiding the group through what to expect when trekking in the Andes. Topics such as what gear to carry, how to use it, and personal and group safety are emphasized during orientation.
WELCOME TO SAMAIPATA
Hello everyone and welcome to Samaipata!
By Jose, Group Instructor
Since the moment our students arrived in Bolivia, we have moved to Samaipata. This beautiful town is located right at the edge of the Andes and the Amazon rainforest.
We are staying in a beautiful hotel which has an incredible view of the town and the mountains around this place.
During the first week of the program, we take some days for our orientation. This is a very important moment to get to know each other, have different workshops, and learn about the importance of our safety as individuals and as a group. We had different dynamics during these days, but today we did something different.
¡WELCOME TO BOLIVIA!
After months of preparation, our A&A – A dragons have finally arrived in Bolivian lands! They all come after long hours of flight and layovers at airports.
They deserve a well-deserved rest! But before that, we will head to Samaipata from the city of Santa Cruz, the place that will be our base for the next few days! How exciting!
