Peru Language Immersion and Service Adventure

About
On this Peru adventure, we whitewater raft the Rio Urubamba, visit the majestic, lost Inca city of Machu Picchu, barter for artisan goods at indigenous markets in Pisac and Cusco, spend an overnight in a remote, indigenous Quechua village to experience traditional, everyday life. This trip also has an optional add-on to boat and snorkel for one week throughout the Galápagos Archipelago!
Students practice Spanish with Peruvian youth, experience a homestay in a small, Peruvian village, and engage in numerous, leader-led language exercises and activities. Community Service is at the heart of every Global Works trip and, on this one, students earn 25-35 community service hours by helping to improve infrastructure for community economic development projects, building classrooms or playgrounds and teaching art, English lessons, or sports in local primary schools.
