Peru
Discover ancient history, vibrant communities, and unforgettable experiences.
Welcome to Peru, a land of ancient treasures & stunning beauty!
Peru is a truly unique and remarkable destination, offering an unforgettable experience. While Machu Picchu, the 15th-century Inca citadel, is world-renowned, Peru also boasts diverse landscapes, from sandy coastal deserts to the lush Amazon rainforest and dramatic mountain peaks.
Our Machu Picchu Challenge will guide you through glaciers, coffee plantations, Lake Titicaca, and remote Inca sites, revealing the country’s hidden treasures.
Our Impact in Peru
Peru is a country rich in heritage, natural wonders, and man-made marvels, home to the Amazon Rainforest and Machu Picchu. As one of the fastest-growing nations in South America, progress has been made in reducing poverty.
However, social discrimination and inequality persist, and we are actively working to address these challenges and create lasting change.
Where You'll be Based
Our Challenges Abroad projects will take you to Urubamba, a picturesque town nestled in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, just an hour from Cusco. Surrounded by stunning mountain landscapes, Urubamba is a tranquil base for exploring the region’s rich history and natural beauty.
The town offers incredible hiking trails, Inca ruins, and vibrant local markets, making it an ideal spot for both adventure and cultural immersion.
