This expedition will offer a memorable experience for your students through a wide range of activities and projects. Starting in the Amazon forest for a week of conservation volunteering, your group will have the chance to learn about and witness beautiful species in one of the most biodiverse places on the planet and help us protect them. You will then head to Cusco, to explore the city and immerse yourself fully in the local culture and traditions. You will engage in a community project: run literacy workshops, help renovate a school or engage with the elderly.
The Inca Trail awaits you on your last week, ending with a trek to Machu Picchu.
Projects Abroad will also organise plenty of activities on evenings and time off from the placements to make sure you get the full Peruvian experience: cooking lessons, movie & quiz nights, meditation lessons, or even watching sports events.
Your group will start their expedition in Taricaya Reserve, located on the border of Tambopata National Reserve in the famous Amazon forest. Your students will spend the first week learning about our conservation efforts and helping us protect this incredible forest, recognised as one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
After exploring the city of Cusco, your students will work with community members to make a difference by working on UN SDG #4, Quality Education. They will engage with the elderly, run literacy workshops or help renovate a school. This is the perfect occasion to immerse yourself fully in the local culture and traditions, exchange with the locals and learn from them.
Visitors with special educational needs can be catered for on request.
Projects Abroad arrange challenging, meaningful, educational, and safe overseas service and internship programmes.
We have been taking students overseas since 1992 and work in over 20 developing and emerging countries across Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Key to our work is the dedicated in-country staff whose diverse skill sets, local knowledge and love of their community allow us to develop relevant, immersive and worthwhile schedules for school trips which give the students responsibility and teach them to see the world through a different lens.
We offer programmes in community development, conservation, construction, education, sports, empowerment, human rights, and healthcare, among many others. These projects are designed to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, broadening the student experience to see the contribution of a few to a movement for global change.
All school trips are individualised. We realise that each school has its own goals and interests, and the students have their own passions. We work with the school to develop a tailored itinerary that reflects their values and allows the students to make a connection with the community in which they serve.
