Most Impactful Trip of my Life
June 19, 2026by: Zachary Corey - United StatesI truly enjoyed the work I completed working on constructing a school and liked everyone I met. I loved how I got to see my contributions to the construction. It was extremely rewarding. I also enjoyed all of my free time exploring the city, nature, and Incan ruins.
I had the time of my life in Cusco!
October 30, 2025by: Rida Ahmed - United StatesI came to Cusco, Peru with Maximo Nivel to volunteer in Construction. I spent my week here painting a beautiful little school that's currently being built by Volunteers and funded by Maximo too. I don't think I've ever painted so much, but it was such an amazing, fulfilling experience! I had amazing support from the International team at Maximo, and I got the best experience ever!
Unbelievable Experience. Exceeded all my expectations.
November 25, 2023by: Amanda Flores - United StatesI wanted to experience Peru, know what it was like to be a local, make a difference in the community, and that is exactly what I was able to do. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. I couldn't've imagined a better experience.
