Thomas took care of the organisation very quickly and reliably and I had a good and reliable guide, buddy and contact person in Marcelo! Many thanks to both of you! The accommodation is adequate, there is everything you need to live, some nice places to sleep and very lovely neighbours :)The Spanish classes are a must for anyone who wants to brush up on their Spanish or learn something more. You will grasp and understand many things more quickly thanks to Libi's team at the language school! A big thank you to you too!In the project itself (dog shelter) I quickly got used to it and also got a lot of love back from the dogs. But unfortunately one volunteer is not enough to help sufficiently, so please feel encouraged to volunteer! Everything you give in energy, love, ambition and dedication, you will get back double and triple!All in all, I can only recommend this experience to all of you!read less - 22 Mar 2022

The application process with Peru Volunteer went very smoothly and Thomas replied to all emails within a very short time which made it easy for me to choose this organization. Right from the beginning I felt super safe and comfortable. From the airport pick up to the first day in my project, Marcelo was there to answer any questions, give recommendations and help out in whatever way possible. When I got sick he took me to the hospital and he also went to several ticket offices with me to plan my weekend trip to Machu Picchu. If you’re looking for an amazing abroad experience in Peru I would definitely recommend Peru Volunteer!read less - 24 Feb 2022

It´s rather small, but that means that you are way closer to the peruvian life and more flexible in your project choices. Their connection to the spanish school is great, the coordinator in cusco is great, cusco itself is great, so if you want to have a great time, use this organization. Very open and heartwarming people, always ready to help.read less - 28 Dec 2021

It went very smooth.The apartment is located in a safe neighborhood close to a local market and just about 20 mins from the main plaza.The company is looking forward to help you to get the project you are the best at and responds to your concerns.I was able to teach English at a local school, attend Spanish classes, travel and enjoy the city in a very relaxed manner.On Thursdays and Fridays we had workshops where we learned how to make Pisco Sour and dance salsa!The only down side is that you get used to this and don’t want to leave!Many thanks to Thomas and Marcelo!read less - 31 May 2020

Not only because I improved my Spanish but also because I learned how to behave in South America. When you arrive, the coordinator explains you everything about the Peruvian live style and gives you all information about travelling around this beautiful country.I taught English in a public school where I learned more about the culture and the traditions. During the afternoon I helped to train kids of a local volleyball team. I really liked their trainer. She was one of the nicest persons I have met in Peru. All these people were so thankful for me volunteering and this made me even happier. All in all I can say, it was one of the greatest exeperiences I have ever made in life and I am really grateful for the memories.read less - 05 Jan 2020

I've been teaching English and helping in the sports lessons in a public school as well as helping in the basketball project in the afternoon for two and a half months. I had a great time and so much fun with the lovely kids while really making a difference in their lives by teaching English. It was a great feeling to see the kids making progress and how thankful they were. I also really liked helping out in the basketball project and participating myself from time to time. Marcelo, the local coordinator, is a huge help to get used to the life in Cusco. He showed us the neighborhood around the apartment and the center and gave us advice on where to get food, buy groceries or book tours to the many attractions around Cusco. He always was a big help if I had any questions problems. Living in the shared apartment with the other volunteers I made many good friends and had a comfortable place to come home to after work or trips on the weekends. I would definitely recommend you this organisation and would love to come back myself!Thank you, Marcelo and Thomasread less - 02 Jan 2020
