The Experience
It is important that you have a genuine willingness to help, show drive and initiative, and carry a positive 'yes you can' attitude. We are dedicated to providing shelter, rehabilitation, food and care to dogs rescued from the streets. Tasks include: showing the dogs love, brushing them, taking them for walks and helping with small chores around the shelter.

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I cannot recommend it enough! Felicia is truly one of the most hardworking, caring people I have ever met. She is a true inspiration. I had so much fun with all the dogs, and truly loved the work I was doing. Felicia's food is also amazing, and she was very accommodating of me being vegetarian. She doesn't know any English, so be prepared to practice your Spanish! She is very good at helping you through it and talking in a way that you'll understand. Felicia, gracias por una experiencia increíble! Eres una inspiración!

This is my second time staying with Felicia. It was great once again. The dogs at the shelter are very friendly, and Felicia makes excellent meals for breakfast and lunch. I met other volunteers with whom I was able to interact. Great experience, I recommend it!

I loved my time with Felicia! You are 45 minutes outside of the city of Cusco, which means you get to experience how the locals live. You are not in a touristy area and will be one of the only non-locals. This provides a great opportunity to practice spanish and really immerse yourself in the culture. She has a beautiful apartment for the volunteers that is a 15 minute walk to the dog shelter. It can be quite loud at times, even at the apartment, so bring earplugs to sleep with. The work is easy, but can be tiring. I often found myself too tired to journey into the city after I was off.
