So you want to volunteer in Peru? We can see why. Peru is a culturally and environmentally rich country, and one of the most popular Quest destinations for United Planet volunteers. Volunteer Courtney Myers recently returned from an incredible two weeks in Cusco, Peru, and she’s here to give you all the details. She sat down with us to share her experience and let you know what it’s really like to travel to Peru with United Planet. Aside from visiting the historic ruins of Machu Picchu and touring the city of Cusco, United Planet volunteers in Peru experience full cultural immersion and form lasting relationships with their host families and volunteer projects. Take a watch!

This one-week Quest is a perfect opportunity for high school or college students looking to have a life-changing experience over their winter break. This Quest involves working at after-school centers in Cusco, and is ideal for volunteers interested in working with kids. Take a look at some of the snapshots our volunteers have sent us if you’re not convinced:
It’s not to early to start thinking about how you’re going to make a difference and form cross-cultural friendships over your winter break.
