Medical elective

Had so much fun completing my medical elective with Proyecto Peru!! All the staff were super helpful and friendly! There were fun group activities organised weekly to help with socialising with other volunteers and to try new places/activities in the city! The Spanish lessons were really good value and the teachers were really encouraging. 10/10 experience

Incredible

The time in Peru was incredible! I never met so friendly and nice people, especially my host parents. Also the team from projecto Peru are so nice. They helped me by all my questions and were there at any time. It was amazing to explore the culture and see how the life in South America is.

I had a great experience learning Spanish and helping with children in a kindergarten. My Spanish teacher was great, very patient and helped me with my specific terms. Everybody was very friendly and welcoming.
Thank you very much for this great experience.

Spanish classes and volunteering

My 15-year-old twins and I had the opportunity to take one-on-one Spanish classes for two weeks, and we also volunteered in an aftercare program with children aged 5 to 12. It was truly an incredible and rewarding experience.
First and foremost, our Spanish teachers were exceptional—knowledgeable, patient, and highly adaptable. They tailored the lessons to meet each of our individual learning needs, which made the classes both effective and enjoyable.
Volunteering in the after-school program was equally fulfilling. We helped the children with their homework, assisted with meals, and helped clean up the classroom. We also supported basic English instruction, which was a wonderful way to engage and connect with the kids.
Both the Spanish lessons and the volunteer work exceeded our expectations. My twins and I genuinely enjoyed every moment and learned so much. We highly recommend Proyecto Perú to anyone looking for an immersive and meaningful cultural experience.

I would really recommend volunteering in Cuzco with Proyecto Peru

I was in Cuzco with PMGY and Proyecto Peru for almost four weeks and I’m still leaving this place wishing I had more time here. I did the Animal Sanctuary Project which is a very magical and peaceful place and stayed in a peruvian hostfamily and I truly had a great time. Everyone I encountered was incredibly helpful and nice and made me feel welcome. The organization from Proyecto Peru works very well, I felt taken care of and in addition got to enjoy free social activities to meet other participants. Also both the host family and the people working at the sanctuary like Yeremi and Jose were welcoming and taught us a lot, not just anything imaginable about the animals but also plenty of lessons about the culture and life here and helped me to improve my spanish. Since there were many festivities and we were free to not come on these days, my time working in the project was a bit shorter than booked but honestly, that was an advantage for me because I got to go on many tours and trips and discover almost all the amazing main sights around the area. I’m not a city person or someone who returns to the same travel destination but as I’m leaving I can’t wait to be back one day and I would recommend anyone to do the same.

Perfect for families and teachers

There are two parts to the review as we did not attend the language school portion. 1) The service and transparency provided by Proyecto Peru was without issue. All questions were answered in a timely manner and the homestay was exactly as pictured and described. This was/is a legit organization that provides support and connection for the volunteer project. 2) The volunteer project (Afterschool program) was an unforgettable experience for our family of 4 including two children ages 6 and 8. I highly recommend it for families. Two caregivers are ideal in case your children need a break (as ours did) and one parent can stay as a volunteer the whole time. Teachers that speak at least a basic level of Spanish would be an amazing help for this program. Don't hesitate to experience Cusco in a way most families never will.

What to say? Dont miss Proyecto Peru!! Meeting new people/volounteers from all around the world, learn spanish, help in different ways to the local community and in the same time learn about reach Peruan history and tradition. I had an amazing experience with all the people from Projecto Peru and also with the local community. I will be back for sure. Tupananchikkama! ( Until we meet again ).

We learned so much

My boyfriend and I spent a week learning Spanish at Proyecto Peru. Our teacher, Luz, was amazing! She was patient, friendly and funny and we learned so much in a short time. We wish we had longer - Gracias Luz and the Proyecto team!

Great experience

Great experience. My host family made me feel like I was at home and accepted me as one of their own. I shared many experiences with them, and got to meet others through them. I have made lasting genuine friendships here, and had a great experience at Club Corason De Niños. I got to play with the kids, and help teach English. Overall unforgettable experience, and my Spanish has improved so much
