Volunteering with children at the after-school reading program - libros magicos, helping with art classes and assisting at a ceramics workplace were all interesting experiences. Although I was sometimes doubtful about the impact of my help, I feel like my attention and assistance made a difference. My Spanish teachers were really good and put a lot of effort into preparing fun classes. It improved my Spanish a lot! Cusco is a beautiful and calm place to stay for a longer period of time. There is so much to see. Out of all places I visited in Peru, this city is one of my favourites! The coordinators Libia and Thomas are super nice: very accomodating, flexible and kind. Libia helped me organise tours, was there when I needed anything and accompanied me to hospital when I was sick. A great support! The volunteerhouse is nice - with a shared kitchen to cook and eat with other volunteers. The bedroom is comfortable too! The other volunteers are really friendly and I am grateful to connect with them. I am very happy I volunteered with Peru volunteer and I'm very grateful for the experience!read less - 11 May 2023

The “Peru Volunteer” is a once in a lifetime experience. Between the magical landscapes of Peru, the amazing people and the kindness of Libia, things couldn’t have gone better. And I couldn’t recommend it enough. We helped in the “libros magicos” which was a moving experience for me. Thankfully Libia’s spanish courses helped us to be able to communicate with the children. Being able to help these children was the most rewarding experience and I couldn’t be happier to have been able to help them even in a small way- as they too, changed my life in a way. Thank you so so so much!! My month of volunteering has finally come to an end and I couldn’t be more sad. The “Peru Volunteer” is a once in a lifetime experience.

Mais ca a été les 4 semaines les plus formidables de ma vie. Des rencontres extraordinaires, des paysages a coupé le souffle. Mais surtout un superbe encadrement au niveau du volontariat et des cours d’espagnol grâce a Peru Volunteer. Aider les enfants a l’école ou durant le projet lecture l’après-midi a été un vrai plaisir pour moi, ils sont adorables et très attachants. Un grand merci a Libia pour tout, surtout pour ces cours d’espagnol qui ont été très bénéfiques. (Translated by Google) Here, it's over the 4 weeks in Cusco and therefore of volunteering, very sad.

The first three weeks I took intensive Spanish classes with the lovely Libia and her team and enjoyed the time in the old town of Cusco, which was the center of the Inca Empire and therefore has a lot of history and culture to discover. Then I started with the after-school reading project and the kindergarten project. Both projects, as well as some Spanish lessons, fit together perfectly. The kids are very warm-hearted and open to read and learn. It is a very fulfilling volunteer work - the children build up a close relationship very fast and due to the wide range of the age you have all different levels of knowledge and development. I really enjoyed my time in this special and warm-hearted environment, learned Spanish very quickly and had no problems traveling throughout southern Peru at the end of my stay. Thanks to this wonderful time and insight in Cusco, I never felt like a tourist in Peru but rather like a local.read less - 26 Sep 2022

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
