Peru Machu Picchu Challenge

Make a real difference in local communities while exploring Peru’s culture, landscapes, and people.

Challenge Snapshot

Overview

Imagine combining meaningful community impact with one of the world’s most iconic trekking experiences. In Peru’s breathtaking Sacred Valley, you’ll spend your days inspiring young learners through hands-on education projects before taking on the unforgettable 5-day Salkantay Trek to the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu.

Many schools in rural Peru continue to face challenges including limited resources, underfunding, and fewer opportunities for practical, hands-on learning. By sharing your skills, creativity, and enthusiasm, you’ll assist local schools in creating engaging learning experiences that build confidence, inspire curiosity, and encourage children to dream bigger.

Working alongside our local team, you’ll deliver conversational English sessions, facilitate Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) and life skills workshops, and support environmental initiatives through community clean-ups and tree planting.

Not only will you feel a great sense of achievement, but it’s an experience that’s guaranteed to make you stand out in any future employment opportunity.

Are flights included?

Flights aren’t included in the programme cost because many participants choose to extend their travels before or after the programme, so booking flights independently gives you the flexibility to arrange your own travel plans. It also works out more cost efficient if you book them.

You don’t need any previous experience or qualifications to join most of our programmes. We provide comprehensive preparation and support before departure, as well as a detailed Programme Orientation on arrival in-country, ensuring participants feel confident and ready to contribute to the programme. 

Absolutely! This is something we encourage you to do, and we’ll help you set up an official fundraising page so you can share it with your network to collect donations.

You’ll either be staying at our hub, or a local partner guesthouse in dorm-style accommodation, sharing your room with up to three other participants. There are western showers and toilets, as well as communal spaces for relaxing. While you will be provided with home comforts, they will be different to your usual standards and all part of the challenge!

“The experience in itself was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The accommodation was incredible, the hosts were lovely, the school experience was surreal, the food was great, and the views were unforgettable. I would definitely do it all over again if I had the chance.”
