About this Trip

Our Peru expedition has it all! Culture, adventure, and most importantly, impactful opportunities to serve. After arriving in Lima, you will quickly board a plane to the beautiful city of Cusco nestled at over 11,000 feet. While you get acclimatized, participate in a community outreach project providing food and necessary items to those in need. Enjoy some of the world’s finest textile shopping and even pet a real alpaca!

Stay and eat among the people in their homes and hostels that offer a cultural experience like no other. Serve in villages for underprivileged and abused teen girls, and help in our freshwater and sustainable farming causes. Prepare to work hard, long, and fast paced days while pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Exact details of your service projects will be discussed as details are finalized closer to trip dates.

Quickly head up to the Andes for a mountain bike ride of your dreams, and a heart racing raft down the river (November trip only). Zipline across giant mountain ravines and sit in thermal hot springs. With each new adventure and a beautiful eight mile hike, you’ll be one step closer to Aguas Callientes, the base of Machu Picchu. Check Machu Picchu, one of the 7 wonders of the modern world off your bucketlist! Take the historic train back to Cusco and prepare for the final experience of swimming with sea lions and watching Humboldt penguins!

Join this fast paced trip for the experience of a lifetime!
