What's Included
- With a private taxi:
If you prefer that a taxi picks you up at the airport/your hotel and drops you off at the project, it is possible. At this moment (July 2022) this costs 120 soles (2.5 hours), to be paid to the driver.
- By public transport: a taxi or van (colectivo) in ARCOPATA (a street in Cusco).
These taxis or vans drive this route on a daily basis. Do not take a taxi somewhere else, because it will cost a lot more.
Vans leave when they have 9 to 11 passengers; you pay 20 soles per person.
A taxi will be full faster and will leave sooner. It also drives faster, so you will reach Curahuasi sooner. The taxi terminal is in the same street is the terminal for vans, but a not in the same place.
- Weekday lunch our cook Diofe will cook for all the volunteers and teachers.
- Dinner and weekend you can go to the village, prepare by yourself or cook with other volunteers.
