Students who join us in Peru have scaled glaciated Andean peaks, explored ancient Inca ruins, explored the depths of the Amazon jungle and worked alongside villagers in rural communities since we introduced operations here in 2008. Students partner with local organisations to understand some of the area’s most significant challenges, which include access to clean water and education for girls. Outside of service, Peru offers students a variety of outdoor activities, such as hiking, rafting, zip lining and mountain biking.
Whether it’s the mountains, the beach, the rainforest, or valley towns, every view in Peru is breathtaking. Meet hardworking people in remote villages, contribute to service projects that make a tangible difference and leave the country feeling refreshed and inspired. You’ll want to return as soon as you leave.
