MAXIMO NIVEL

Do not have enough good things to say about Maximo Nivel and my experience supporting construction. The team was so informative and helpful and really cares about making an impact in the local community. I felt welcome and safe from day 1 and was really able to make an impact in a short time. Also the housing accommodations and travel support were extremely helpful and took the experience above and beyond. 10/10 experience overall!

As seasoned traveling retirees, this was our 16th time volunteering abroad. Maximo Nivel, in partnership with IVHQ, did not disappoint. Communications up front were clear & informative. Our project was diverse, with the option to vary tasks daily. We picked coffee, helped in the garden,composted, and more. Homestay provided authentic interactions and home cooked meals. Questions were answered, recommendations and suggestions were freely offered. Social options like salsa & cooking classes were a plus. As we like to say, "When it comes to volunteering, age is just a number." Flexibility helps!!!

I had the absolute best time taking Spanish classes though Maximo Nivel! My teachers were incredible, helping me through new subjects and reviewing older ones I already knew. I feel like my Spanish skills are so much more well rounded and I have a much better foundation. Their expertise made me feel much more confident in using what I was learning out the real world. Not only were they incredibly helpful with the nuances of Spanish conjugation and pronunciation, but they also provided incredible insights into Cusco and Peru. Some of the best experiences I had were recommended by my teachers. I am so grateful to them and Maximo for making an already awesome experience even better. My only regret is that I didn´t stay longer. There was so much to see and do, I am already planning my next trip back!
