Voluntary Work in Peru: Short programme

Peru, with its emerald-green mountain passes, bright Indio markets, and centuries-old cities is understandably one of the most popular tourist spots in Latin America. The fantastic city of Cusco, nestled in the Andes Mountains, will be the starting point of your Peruvian adventure, lasting 3, 5, or 8 weeks.

Voluntary Work in Peru: Short Programme

Short on time, but longing for adventure? If you’d like to polish your Spanish skills, engage in voluntary work in Peru, and gain a deep understanding of Peruvian culture in just a short span of time, our 3-week Short Programme in Peru is the perfect choice for you! 

Combine a 2-week Spanish language course (you’ll spend one week in Cusco and one week in Taray), 10 hours a week of cultural workshops and excursions (a day-trip to Machu Picchu by train and a trip to the Holy Valley of the Inca) - with one week of voluntary work in Cusco! Una mixtura maravillosa!
