Each schedule is tailored for you dependent on which projects you take part in, which can be more than one.
Every week we have Friday volunteer lunches and a project tour during your time here.
Huanchaco is a beautiful coastal town where the waves are perfect all year long, for all types of surfers. Huanchaco is surrounded by some mountains where it is possible to go hiking (tours are arranged by local guides, at reasonable prices). Furthermore, there's a beautiful white mountain range, the cordillera blanca, situated in Huaraz, fairly close to Huanchaco (9h bus ride), which offers a good many hiking and climbing possibilities in the most fascinating landscape. If you prefer cultural activities, we are a few minutes away from the Chan Chan and Huaca del sol y de la luna, which are among the most well-preserved temple ruins of the old Incan empire that can be found in Peru. The town of Huanchaco has a gym, and you can find some fields to play basketball and football close to the beach.
The OCN payment fee covers Volunteer placement and accommodation arrangement services. It includes:
Collection in Trujillo at the bus station or airport, by a member of the OCN team;
Introduction to your project, as well as to Huanchaco;
Day to day support as and when required;
Advice on accommodation options in Huanchaco.
Please note that all travel as well as accommodation costs must be paid by the volunteer (in addition to the Volunteer Program Fees).
Given prior knowledge, OCN will arrange for their new volunteers to be picked up at the airport or bus station in Trujillo upon arrival and brought to their accommodation facilities in Huanchaco.
You can start
whenever fits you as we tailor the start of projects to you. When you arrive we
will come and pick you up from the airport or us station. From there you will
be taken to your accommodation that will have been pre-organised with you.
From there you will settle
in and have a walking tour the next day and introduction so you can feel a bit
more familiar with the area.
