Peru
Widely regarded as the home of the Inca civilization, travel in Peru has more to offer the traveller than a breathless ascent of Machu Picchu. The Amazon River runs through the jungles of the north west, the peaks of the high Andes run the length of the country and both offer trekkers and climbers excellent opportunities for adventure travel in Peru. For those of you that want to travel Peru at a more leisurely pace, the long and varied coastline is home to hundreds of pristine beaches and the country's vibrant capital, Lima.
If you are looking to volunteer in Peru, you’re in the right place. We work with locally run volunteering organisations across the country and our volunteers are involved with conservation and community work, as well as teaching English in Peru. Volunteering in Peru is becoming increasingly popular and more like minded travellers are choosing to spend part of their gap year in Peru. Visit our Peru volunteer section for information about volunteer travel in this spectacular Latin American country.
