Make the most of your free time in Cusco, Peru!

When you join volunteer program in Peru, you’ll be working about 5 hours per day, Monday-Friday. Our Peru projects are located in Cusco, the continent’s oldest continuously inhabited city and the gateway to Machu Picchu, a preserved Incan ruin of a city you can also visit nearby.

You’ll have lots of free time from your Peru volunteer program to explore Cuzco, and you’ll want to. You’ll find narrow cobblestone passages that make a pleasant maze of ornate cathedrals, Incan temples, and local Peruvians hawking their local wares. Get to know Cuzco off the beaten path and have that international adventure you’ve been dreaming of.


Weekend Exploration

You’ll have two days off each weekend, and that’s the perfect chance to get out of town and explore other areas of Peru.

From Incan ruins to rainbow mountains, Peru is a traveler’s wonderland. You can view traditional ceremonies, hike to volcanos, go white water rafting, and join in colorful Carnival like festivals to an Incan sun god, all in one country. Get out there and see what you discover!

Here are some not to miss spots while volunteering in Peru:

Kuélap

The 700m-long oval fortress like archaeological site of Kuélap, is made up of millions of cubic feet of remarkably preserved stone. Built between AD 900 and 1100, this impressive structure is shaped like an ocean liner. High, imposing limestone walls have a funnel like entrance.

Laguna Parón

Laguna Paron is an exceptionally beautiful lake that is surrounded by spectacular snow- covered peaks in the background. It is one of the largest lakes in Peru, famous for its close- up views of Piramide de Garcilaso, Huandaoy and Chacraraju and several granite rock walls.

Belén Mercado

A peculiar floating water bound market in Iquitos, Belen Mercado is made up of scores of huts, built on rafts and is a unique sight. A whopping seven thousand people live here and trade jungle fruit produce from one hut to the other.

Catarata de Gocta

A breathtaking and truly impressive 771m waterfall in the Northern highlands of Peru.   This natural wonder is well-signposted, has forested trails, indigenous villages, and suspension bridges.
