A large part of Peru’s economy is tied to agriculture, mainly in the production of artichokes, mangos, coffee, sugar, asparagus, potatoes, bananas, and peppers, making it an excellent country for those that want to work abroad on farms. For just a few hours of work in exchange for accommodation on different permaculture sites, you transform your trip into volunteering for the environment and at a lower cost.
For nature lovers interested in learning more about sustainability, Peru has incredible options in rural destinations, great for both for the quality and quantity of the eco-villas there, and for the beautiful landscapes the country exhibits. Some cities with organic farm options are San Martin, Lima, Iquitos, and Tarapoto, with tasks that vary among caring for plants and animals, and gardening and construction.
