COST
Generally a team trip will cost each team member around $80 per day, on the ground. This includes your food, lodging, drinking water and ground transportation. Free days and other items can be arranged, but will also increase the total cost of the trip. Once you have submitted your application and our staff discusses your desires, you will be given an estimated cost for your team.
