Peru is a land of incredible contrasts, where the snow-capped peaks of the Andes meet the lush depths of the Amazon Rainforest. Whether you are an aspiring medical professional, a history enthusiast, or on an adventurous gap year, Peru offers a breathtaking setting for cultural immersion and meaningful impact. From the cobblestone streets of Cusco to the wild rainforest, you’ll find yourself participating in projects that address real community needs while discovering the soul of South America.
Dive into the action by uncovering the past on our Archaeology Project, supporting early childhood development in local childcare centers, or protecting endangered wildlife at our renowned animal rehabilitation center in the Amazon. If you're looking to kickstart your career, you can join professional internships in Medicine, Nursing, Midwifery, and Nutrition.
When you aren’t busy making an impact, the adventure is endless. You can trek to the majestic ruins of Machu Picchu, soak in natural hot springs, or master your Spanish with the locals. With our full-time staff providing 24/7 support, you have the freedom to explore ancient wonders and vibrant markets with total confidence.

An adventure in the amazon jungle. If you like looking after rescued animals and birds this is the trip for you plus hiking in the amazon jungle. Taricara met my expectations and gives me a taste of living in the tropical jungle. Facilities basic but this is expected. Everything you need is there and welcoming hosts as a bonus.
The experience was great, and I will miss the children terribly. The teachers were very welcoming and extremely nice, as a reflection of the general kindness of Peruvian people. The management team is good. Cusco is a beautiful city and the trip to Machupicchu went nicely. Thank you for these unforgettable two weeks.

This was a very fun trip. It was amazing to see different places in Cusco and Peru in general. I loved getting a glimpse into another culture and place. It was unfortunate how often I, and others, were sick. I had a lot of fun taking care of the kids; they were adorable, but they were also very energy draining.
