Medical Volunteer Programs Abroad | Work in Peru!

I had a great time volunteering for this program. I did not know what to expect from Cusco and it was a cool way to throw myself out there and get out of my comfort zone. For people solo travelling alone, this program made it easy and comforting to do. I learned a lot and had lots of hands on experience.

Monica's: Excellent host! Sweetest woman, genuinely cared for our well being, our time in Cusco. Food tasted great. Niko: Great projects manager! Nico made our trip to Peru a lot better with his recommendations and overall help adjusting. He made ahrd days @ the clinic feel light, helped bridge the language barrier - even though we didn't need it.

Monica was amazing! She was super welcoming, made good food, and even gave us salsa lessons. Making the experience more enjoyable: More instruction on the first day of clinic. Nico & Maximo Nivel were perfect - they were super helpful with all questions & needs we had. They were especially helpful when our coordinator didn’t know anything or communicate fully. Highly Recommend to others!

I absolutely loved this experience and all of the Maximo staff was so supportive and did a good job of fostering growth in our Spanish & medical skills throughout the week. Monica was a joy to stay with! I will say that the portions were not what we were used to, but I would recommend that you notify participants of what portions will be like so they can bring extra snacks if they want. Nico rocks and we love him! Thanks to everyone!! :)

Thank you so much for organising such a wonderful campaign. This trip felt very organised and any questions we had or help we needed were always answered / given. The only thing that I would have liked with the program is more information on the campaign and lodging details before arrival. Michael and Gina were amazing to work with and were a huge part of why the campaign was so great! They were both extremely kind and helpful and Michael gave amazing recommendations for where to go in Cusco after the campaign.

Michael absolutely rocks! So do Dina and Dr. Estrella. I loved this campaign dearly. The patients were so kind and generous, offering us food, love, and comfort despite having little of their own. Monica was also so kind, loving, and understanding. Gracias Maximo Nivel!!

The entire trip was so well planned and organized. Michael did an amazing job leading us and giving us support throughout the entire trip. Estrella and Dina were amazing staff and helped us so much. We were so well supported and taken care of.

I thought this program was very well-planned and organized. My colleagues and I had a blast! Everything was on time and smooth. In addition, we had decent flexibility and input with the itinerary, so that was a plus. Great job! <3

This was the most amazing experience of my life. Helping people in these rural communities was the most eye opening experience, allowing me to see the healthcare disparities that aren't spoken of enough. I learned so much and got to work with the best staff and stay with the most kind host family. I'll never forget this experience.

This experience was absolutely incredible! Some things I would want future volunteers to know is that you get as much as you put into this experience. Make the most out of your time here and be flexible. Nothing could have made this program more enjoyable - other than the flight delays (which wasn´t anyone´s fault lol).

Only had one week off of University and decided to take a leap of faith and travel to Peru. Beyond glad that I did. Maximo helped me feel safe, immersed, and important. My second time with Maximo Nivel, and hopefully not my last.

I am a third year medical student, and I was looking for an experience where I could really earn some on-hand experience. Fortunately, this experience is what I was looking for. The amount of knowledge that I earned is incredible. Together with the kindness of the people working at the clinic, it makes the experience a thing you will never forget.

The staff was so incredibly kind -- especially DJ and Charlotte! The project placement and staff at the placement were so sweet -- it really allowed me to understand the local culture. My living accommodations were lovely, really made me feel welcomed. Overall, every aspect pf the program here in Cusco was perfect. Great communication, very welcoming people, and the organization really eased so much stress of my shoulders and allowed me to just enjoy being here!

I came with my wife and we had a great experience. We volunteered for the medical mission, and the clinic staff was amazing!. The experience has been fantastic and we really enjoyed staying with our host family! Everyone was very helpful. The only downside would be that there was a little less coordination than expected, there were a couple walking tours that had stops that were not open when visited (though we did visit on a holiday). We were sad to miss out on seeing the cathedral but were happy to enjoy the rest of the experience!

The project was excellent. The hospital is in need of a lot resources. The staff was amazing and worked with very limited tools and supplies. The community is using the Hospital and they have a very good care.

This was such a great experience. I recommend talking to as many locals at your placement for the best results. My favorite thing about this program was getting to see just how different everything works here compared to the United States.

This is a perfect opportunity for individuals to gain experience in any medical field they may choose. The hospitality and warm welcomes from the local people made this trip all that much better. I would recommend this to any group of students in our university. Our time here is something we will truly never forget; we will treasure the impact we’ve made on the local people forever. Hopefully I will be able to return as a fully practicing medical doctor!

I loved all my adventures through American Inca Trail! My favorite was the ATV riding and salt mines but everywhere we went was incredible and had amazing scenery. Yuri, our host, was incredible! Super attentive and an amazing host! Thanks so much for everything!

I have never felt so safe and welcomed in another country. This company went above and beyond to make sure I was set up in every way and ready to go. Adventuring with associated companies was made a piece of cake. I absolutely love Maximo Nivel and will continue to volunteer with travel with them.

I am very glad with my experience here in Peru. I felt we had our own family at my homestay and ate dinners together. I traveled 45 minutes to and from Chinchero for my placement and loved the view every day. I am happy I was able to ride an ATV for the first time with a fantastic view. Rainbow mountain tested my limits and I am proud of myself for getting to the top without riding on a horse. I will keep the doctors, nurses, and Maximo staff close to my heart. Thank you for this awesome experience!
