Volunteer in Andean Immersion in Peru - Cusco

Volunteers live with a local family in a Quechua-speaking rural community and help with their daily tasks while experiencing traditional Andean life first hand. You may assist with farming and agricultural work such as planting or harvesting potatoes, quinoa or corn, caring for livestock, or helping with animal husbandry. You could help with domestic chores, general farm and house maintenance, or simple building tasks. In some placements you may learn traditional weaving techniques and natural dyeing, help prepare textiles for local markets, or support educational activities including teaching English. This program is ideal for volunteers who enjoy rural life, are flexible, open-minded and ready to adapt to basic living conditions. No previous experience is required because local families provide guidance and training. Volunteers should be prepared to embrace local customs, participate in everyday routines, and contribute with energy and respect. During free time you can explore the surrounding Andean villages and valleys, enjoy traditional mountain scenery, immerse yourself in local culture, learn about Quechua traditions, taste regional food, and visit nearby historic sites.

I had a truly unforgettable experience!

Program: Peru Teen Travel Programs

During my time in Peru, I was able to fully immerse myself in the culture and take away from all the amazing opportunities the country had to offer. Every day was a new adventure where we met new people, tried new foods and created lasting memories. With the work we did, we got to see the first hand the effects we had on the communities and schools. From learning to make adobe bricks, to working alongside villagers in the mountains of Kajillarakay, we were able to see the true extent of our capabilities when working towards a goal. Throughout the trip we continued to bond and build relationships with each other. During our homestays, we got to practice our Spanish with our welcoming families and create lasting connections with them. They took us under their wing as their own, showing us how to cook Peruvian dishes and telling us about their lives. Every moment spent in Peru was one to remember, as we all have taken so much away from this once in a lifetime experience. The trip leaders were amazing, always there to talk to me when I needed help. It was nearly impossible to feel homesick as we were constantly chatting and having fun as a group. From the memorable bus rides of singing and playing the ukulele to hiking up to the famous ruins of Machu Picchu, our adventure in Peru could not have been better. The two weeks flew by way too fast, and by the end, our goodbyes felt impossible. The hardest part was accepting that for many of us, we would go from seeing each other everyday to not at all. I know we all can agree that our trip with Global Works was definitely one for the books, and a time none of us will every forget. We were so lucky to be able to have had this experience and hopefully encourage others to embark on adventures of their own with Global Works. I cannot thank Global Works enough for the impact this trip has had on me and all the memorable bonds and irreplaceable friends I have made!

During our time in Peru, we not only got to learn about the Peruvian culture and visit breathtaking historical sites such as Machu Picchu and Saqsaywaman, but we also got to engage in community service work. From working at a local public school for special needs kids to helping build a dormitory for school girls, every single experience was rewarding and unique. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who is interested!
