Why choose between making a difference and exploring Peru when you can do both?
Our combo programs weave together volunteer work and adventure travel into single, seamless experiences. You contribute to communities that need support. You discover landscapes that redefine what you thought was beautiful. And you return home having done more, seen more, and grown more than any ordinary trip could offer.
These aren’t volunteer programs with tourism tacked on at the end. They’re integrated journeys where service and exploration enhance each other. The connections you make while volunteering deepen your appreciation for the places you visit. The perspectives you gain while traveling enrich the work you do in communities.
The Classic: Volunteer plus Machu Picchu
Two weeks of volunteer work in Cusco followed by a three-day journey to Machu Picchu. Spend your weekdays teaching, building, or supporting communities. Spend your weekends exploring nearby sites. Then cap it all with the ultimate Peruvian experience: the Inca Trail or a scenic train journey to the lost city. This is our most popular combo for good reason.
Duration: 17 days Includes: 2 weeks volunteering, accommodation throughout, Sacred Valley tour, Machu Picchu with guide, all transportation
The Immersion: Service and Culture Deep Dive
For those who want to truly understand Peru, not just visit it. Two weeks of volunteering combined with cultural experiences woven throughout: cooking classes, market tours with local chefs, weaving workshops with Andean artisans, a ceremony with a local shaman, homestay nights in rural communities. Plus a weekend adventure to either Rainbow Mountain or Humantay Lake.

The Explorer: Volunteer plus Southern Peru
Combine volunteer work with an extended exploration of Peru’s south. Two weeks in Cusco contributing to communities, followed by a week-long journey through Puno, Lake Titicaca, Arequipa, and Colca Canyon. End in Arequipa, Peru’s beautiful white city, where you can fly home or continue traveling.
