  • Description

    Do you want to find out more about the amazing history of the Inca civilization? You will arrive in the Inca's Sacred Valley of Peru to work outdoors and will be surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Andes. On the Inca Project, you will help with our archaeological activities and community work.

    Your trip will begin in Cusco with an introduction to the grandeur of the Inca Empire. You will then be driven to the small Andean hamlet of Huyro where you will work with our local archaeological experts. Here we collaborate with the Peruvian Historical Institute by helping uncover and clear Inca terraces and buildings in an area that was recently discovered as an Inca settlement.

  • Highlights

    Volunteers also assist with work around the volunteer house and run community projects in the local area.

    You will be taken to see many of the archaeological wonders of Peru including the magnificent Machu Picchu and Ollantaytambo where the Inca fought their last battle with the Conquistadores. You will be able to visit the ruins and see the markets of traditional Peruvian towns and have a last night out in the Inca capital, Cusco.

  • Projects Abroad's Mission Statement

    As part of the global economy, Projects Abroad helps create local employment wherever we send volunteers. Employing local staff overseas and using their talents and knowledge is important to us. This local knowledge and support enables the organization to channel the skills of the volunteers from more affluent countries to regions around the world where they are needed. Volunteers also learn from their placements and the people they meet, and they gain experience in a chosen field. In the 21st century, we believe this mutual respect is what cultural exchange is all about.
