Amid the beauty of the Andes and Amazon, a rare language and service experience awaits. Get set to journey back in time to discover Peru in a way that few can.
Machu Picchu is just one incredible stop along the way as we explore the ancient Incan empire. Hike to breathtaking Andean summits as llamas stampede by. In the Sacred Valley, live at a hacienda and learn Spanish from local instructors. There we also team up with local elementary school kids, to help with their latest community project. Lastly, travel to the Amazon River Basin to participate in service projects with local volunteers, working on conservation awareness and environmental education. Ruins. Rainforests. Rewarding experiences.
