Wonderful Experience
February 27, 2026by: Emily Miller - United StatesProgram: Top-Rated Volunteer Abroad Programs in Latin America
I am doing an 8-week medical internship in Cusco, Peru with Maximo Nivel. I have had an amazing time so far. My host family and accommodations have been incredible! When I was sick, my host mom even made me some chicken soup and helped me see a doctor. I have learned so much at my placement in a local hospital. The staff and nurses have been extremely welcoming, and I have had the opportunity to assist in intensive medical procedures. This experience has definitely helped prepare me to begin medical school, and serve Spanish patients at home. Overall, I have felt very supported by this program and the staff, and would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I loved my Medical placement!

Thank you Maximo Nivel team for this awesome experience. It was really special to connect with the local students, explore the beauty of Cusco, and give to the community here. Thank you! Emilia Bosaia.

Nico was an amazing field leader for the archaeology project! He was super welcoming and approachable, I had a great two weeks with absolutely no worries. The project in general was well organised, interesting and rewarding. My homestay families were lovely and made me feel right at home! - Bhoomi
