Peru: Social Impact and Machu Picchu Challenge
Trade the ordinary for the extraordinary. Based in Urubamba in Peru's stunning Sacred Valley, just an hour from Cusco, this 2 to 4-week community impact experience puts you at the heart of real change. You will design and deliver hands-on workshops centred around conversational English, STEAM, and critical thinking at underfunded local schools, helping young learners who have been hit hardest by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. You will also lead tree-planting and community clean-up activities, raising environmental awareness in the local community. And when the week is done? The Sacred Valley is your playground. Think Inca ruins, mountain trails, vibrant markets, and the iconic Machu Picchu on your doorstep. This is not just travel. It is a chapter that builds your confidence, sharpens your leadership, and gives you stories worth telling. All accommodation, weekday meals, in-country transport, and 24/7 support are included. Come and join our global community of people who care.
