Increadable Experience
June 27, 2026by: phineas pollard - United StatesThe Volunteering was fun and engaging. We helped build a playground for a special ed school, and the kids'reaction to seeing us was heartwarming. However we dont recomend doing both spanish classes and volunteering at the same time unless its in small quantitys of each becuase we didnt have much time to truly explore the city. Other then that one small nitpick i had an increadble time.
Most Impactful Trip of my Life
June 27, 2026by: Ali Bahabib - United StatesOut of the 10+ countries I´ve been to this has been the most impactful by far. The diversity in culture, cuisine, and landscapes all in one country is an incredible experience. I feel honored that Peru took me in and allowed me to learn more of their culture and share more of mine.
10/10 AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
June 20, 2026by: Zara Amos - United StatesMy volunteer placement was extremely insightful. Not only were the children learning from me, I was learning Spanish from them aswell. It was quite challenging, since i spoke very little spanish but everyone was so kind and helpful as long as you communicated your needs. I love that i got to live with a host family, it helped me immerse myself in a different culture and it was truly a great experience. There is also a travel agency in-house so we got to go on a few different excursions and meet other volunteers.
