Global Volunteer Network is excited to announce its newest program in Peru. Based in the city of Cusco, volunteers have the opportunity to work on childcare, teaching, construction, healthcare and conservation projects.

Cusco is located in south-eastern Peru, near the Sacred Valley of the Andes mountain range, and is the historical capital of the Inca Empire. At an altitude of around 3,500m (11,500 ft) Cusco is the gateway to “the lost city” of Machu Picchu, Peru’s premier tourist attraction. Despite growing numbers of international tourist poverty remains prevalent throughout Peru, with over 50% of the population living below the poverty line.

Alongside their work volunteers will also participate in Spanish lessons for their first week on the program conducted by professional teachers. For the remainder of their stay volunteers will participate in a language exchange program where they will be paired with a Peruvian student learning English.
