Excellent experience
September 29, 2025by: Scott Gregory - United KingdomA truly wonderful experience from start to finish. Friendly, professional, supportive staff, teachers, hosts and placement. Great country, people, food. There was nothing I could complain about. The staff were all superb, helpful, and had regular check-ins to make sure I was ok, happy, and all was running smoothly. Easy to contact should extra adjustments or support be required. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone, including international volunteers. They are supportive and proactive, offering advice and support every step of the way.
A Heartwarming and Eye-Opening Experience in Cusco
August 21, 2025by: Lise Thomas - FranceTwo unforgettable weeks in Cusco! Volunteering in Cusco was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. During my first week, I worked in childcare, looking after toddlers while their hardworking moms ran stalls at the local market. The second week, I supported young mothers and their babies as they developed small income-generating projects within their community. Each day brought something new challenges, smiles, and powerful moments of connection. Playing with the kids was my finest moment their laughter and hugs made everything worthwhile. The local team was incredibly supportive, and my host family welcomed me with warmth and kindness, making me feel at home from day one. It wasn’t always easy — language barriers and limited resources made some tasks challenging, and emotionally, it’s tough to witness the difficult situations some families face. But these obstacles only made the experience more meaningful. If you're looking for an experience that combines cultural immersion, personal growth, and real social impact, Cusco is the place to be.
