What we’re about
We are a group of young professionals from our 20s to 30s living in Los Angeles, seeking new adventures on a daily basis. We have created the Life Adventures meetup group simply to put all the young professionals in the city under one roof and enjoy some fun times together. From encountering the city's nightlife to recreational adventures such as hiking, biking, running, laser tag, bowling, roller skating, scavenger hunts, etc you get the point. We are branding Life Adventures as LA's most sought out group for people to join.
If you are new in the city, or newly single, or just the adventurous type, this is the perfect group for you. Life Adventures will take you out to mingle and make new friends from all over the city. From the bar scene, to the clubs, to random outings we will make sure that you get the best out of Los Angeles.

- MACHU PICCHU via the Short Inca Trail or Train. With Amazon Jungle Extension!!LAX, Los Angeles, CA
Discover the awe-inspiring journey to Machu Picchu with one of 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 experience according to your preferences and interests.
This post is for those interested in the easier options to get to Machu Picchu, compared to the 5-day hiking trip via the Salkantay Trek.
We are taking The Short Inca Trail. It's a one full day of hiking in the second half of the classic Inca Trek, followed by a full day spent at Machu Picchu. This is the shorter and less difficult alternative to the Salkantay Trek. It is a memorable trip with stunning views of rainforest canopy and ancient historic sights!
The Train version is intended for people with less mobility or those wishing to glamp it a bit. The itinerary matches the Inca Trail group, except the hiking day is substituted by a comfortable train ride.
The third alternative is The Salkantay Trek. This is a 5-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. Those who are interested in this option, CLICK HERE for the Meetup event.
ALL THREE groups begin together with a few days in Lima and Cusco but will reach Machu Picchu - the culmination, in different ways!
As a special bonus for the Inca/Train group, we have included a 4-day excursion to the Amazon Rainforest! We will explore Tambopata National Reserve alongside our expert naturalist guides, immersing ourselves in lush rainforest landscapes teeming with exotic flora and fauna. Breathtaking vistas of the mighty river and vibrant sunsets await us to make this journey an experience of a lifetime!
