The Indigenous Community Immersion project provides a totally unique learning experience that brings volunteers up-close to an ancient way of life. Volunteers are placed in an indigenous, Quechua-speaking community high in the Andes mountains, approximately 1 hour from Cuzco. This volunteer project is an off-the-grid full-immersion. An excellent project for volunteers interested in anthropology, gender-roles, and indigenous cultures.
As you’ll be sharing in everyday life with an Indigenous family, the standard of living is quite basic and the pace is slow. Schedules can vary greatly depending on weather, harvest seasons, family and social events. As a volunteer you’ll need to be self-driven with a capacity to see tasks that can add value to the local community.

Freizeitaktivitäten
Machu Picchu Baby!
Built somewhere in the 1400's, this is the site of massive significance spiritually & historically to the Incan people . Tourists from around the world travel to Peru just to see it, and Cuzco is the gateway to Machu Picchu. We can help you book your tour in advance or when you arrive in Cuzco. There are various options including train ride + hike or a 4 day hike. Book in advance to ensure you get a spot though!
Cuzco
The historic capital of the Inca Empire, rests at very high altitude in the Andes Mountains. It's really one of the most sought after travel destinations in the world. Besides just soaking up the atmosphere of Cuzco, some sights to visit include; Cristo Blanco monument offers amazing views of the city, the Planetarium provides Incan history, the ruins of Qorikancha, in the heart of the city or for the foodies, check out the Choco Museo for everything chocolate!
Moray, Maras And Salinas
These are incredible Incan ruins with many levels of concentric circles like an ancient amphitheater. This is located only a short bus ride from Cuzco with a nice 4km hike to get to the Maras village and a further 9km hike or taxi to the Moray ruins. A brilliant day out.
Amazon Jungle
Peru has managed to do a great job in protecting the Amazon, and has many well protected very large forest areas where you can explore with a guide. Take a boat down the Rio Tambopata river, experience jungle lodges from Peurto Maldonado and experience one of the most bio diverse regions in the entire world!
Lake Titicaca

Complimentary Arrival TransferYou’ll arrive at Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ). When clearing immigration it’s best to simply state ‘tourism’. When you arrive you will be greeted by a member of our local team and taken to the homestay or the volunteer center for orientation.
In-Country Transportation
Most volunteers will use in-expensive bus transport to get around and to travel to the project placements. Our coordinators will assist you with all the details while in country.
A one-way trip rarely costs more than US $0.50 in Cusco or nearby neighborhoods and maybe US $2 for longer distances.
Taxis are also readily available in and around Cusco. Taxis cost approximately US $3 – $10 depending on duration. We recommend using formal taxis that use a meter to calculate the fare based on time and distance.
The houses are basic and heating is traditional wood or gas stoves with no central heating. The nights can be very cold as you are high in the mountains so volunteers are encouraged to pack warm clothes. We’ll help you with exactly what to bring as part of the application process, so don’t worry. There may be limited electricity in the homes and no internet and likely no hot showers. Bed linen, western style toilets & fresh clean drinking water are provided. The volunteer guest rooms usually sleeps 2 volunteers per room with 1 shared bathroom per household.
Gasthaus
Peruvian cuisine is yum. Your meals are included in the volunteer fee. Rice, beans, and corn are popular ingredients, and fresh root vegetables like cassava, taro, and sweet potato are extremely important. You can also expect some fruits and vegetables, such as avocados (palta) accompanied by spicy aji salsa.
