Volunteer Residence:

It is a pleasant place where volunteers from different parts of the world live together. It is very accessible from the city center and offers shared bedrooms, a bathroom with hot water, a living room, and a fully equipped kitchen, as well as Wi-Fi and international TV. Meals are not included in this type of accommodation, but you are free to use the kitchen at any time.

Family Homestay Accommodation:

You will live with a traditional Peruvian family, experiencing, learning about, and enjoying Peruvian culture up close. You will also learn and practice Spanish in a direct and active way. Host families will provide you with a bedroom, full board (three meals a day – breakfast, lunch, and dinner), and all the comforts of a home.

Your contribution makes our projects possible

  • The contribution of international volunteers not only covers the services provided during their stay, but also strengthens the sustainability of our projects, enabling a real and continuous impact.

  • Through volunteering in Peru, participants contribute to the integral development of communities in need while living a supportive, well-organized experience of cultural exchange.

Very Important

  • We do not charge in advance. Payment is made during the first three days after the volunteer’s arrival and installation.
  • Prices are listed in US dollars, but payments can also be made in Peruvian soles or euros, according to the exchange rate of the day.
  • We do not charge any additional fees under any circumstances, so you will not need to make further payments to our organization during your volunteer stay. However, volunteers are responsible for their personal expenses, such as public transportation, phone calls, leisure activities, extra water, excursions, medications, food, etc.
