Detalhes
Our program offers volunteers the opportunity to contribute to the local community while experiencing the richness of Andean culture in the beautiful city of Cusco. This experience also allows volunteers to practice and improve their Spanish skills through daily interaction.
Volunteers usually help prepare and facilitate activities, but we are very flexible and open to adapting tasks according to each volunteer’s skills, interests, and ideas. We truly enjoy co-creating the program together and making the experience enjoyable and meaningful.
We value volunteers who are respectful, responsible, motivated, and empathetic, with an open and collaborative attitude toward the children and the team. Flexibility, initiative, punctuality, and teamwork are highly appreciated.
As an organization, we provide a safe, respectful, and organized environment. Volunteers receive an initial orientation, necessary materials, and ongoing support throughout their stay. No special equipment is required—just comfortable clothing, a positive attitude, and willingness to help.
Our priority is that everyone feels comfortable, safe, and happy during this experience.

EXPLORING CUSCO IN YOUR FREE TIME
Cusco and its surroundings offer many opportunities to enjoy your free time, such as visiting Inca sites, trekking to places like Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, or Humantay Lake, and taking weekend trips to destinations such as Lake Titicaca or Colca Canyon.
Spanish classes are also available (group or private) for volunteers who wish to improve their language skills—feel free to ask us for more information.
Cusco is a very touristic city, and our team can help guide you with local recommendations or organize optional excursions, making it easier for you to enjoy your stay without stress.
CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
As part of our cultural exchange, the Association offers courtesy cultural activities so volunteers can enjoy and better understand local traditions. One or two activities are organized weekly on a rotating basis, such as:
Latin dance classes (salsa & bachata)
Visits to local restaurants (each person covers their own meal)
Museum visits (chocolate, coca, Inka culture, etc.)
Nature walks and visits to beautiful, non-touristy places
Andean music concerts and similar events
