I have a wonderful experience volunteering at Cusco. The volunteer project was medical care at a free clinic. It’s a life changing experience to see what other countries medical care like. The program coordinator addressed my concerns and communicate with me throughout the program. The home stay family are very lovely. Only thing is hot water in the shower issue, and the home stay family had tried to help me with the issue. Highly recommend to join the program. It’s worth a while. I enjoyed the trip very much.

I loved getting to know all the people and animals in Lima, Peru! The experience was so fun and easy, with only a few hours a day taking care of the dogs, cleaning, walking, feeding, and bathing them . Then the evenings were free to explore the beautiful city of Lima, practice Spanish, and hangout with other volunteers. Lots of free time on the weekends as well to go on those longer all-day excursions. I went to Cusco twice on the weekends. IVHQ provide comfortable accommodation and great meals during my stay. Thank you!

It was my first volunteer abroad. I found IVHQ online and instantly believed and trusted the organization. The support I received from the preparation to my volunteering days were seamless. They are doing a noble job in connecting those who are looking to serve to those who are in need. I volunteered for 1 wk as I have limited days off work but I wish that someday I could do more. My accommodation was lovely, I met good people, both locals and volunteers alike. I have always wanted to serve and I may have found another way to do it. Thanks to IVHQ.

I have worked with IVHQ twice now and both times they have proven themselves to be outstanding in the ways of communication, preparation and accuracy. I would highly recommend IVHQ as a way to explore the world with ease and confidence. When I was in Peru I missed IVHQ by just a couple of days as they were traveling to meet and evaluate the host group that we were actually working with. This diligence on maintaining proper communication I feel represents how IVHQ has the ability to accurately relay what to expect to the volunteers that choose to partner with IVHQ.

Speaking fluent Spanish made my experience much better as I could communicate fully with the staff at the clinic. The best day was a cancer awareness campaigner my speciality is breast cancer so I was able to assess all the ladies.

Local team was very helpful my host family was the best their children were lovely. I enjoyed visiting all the amazing places in the area Cusco has a great variety of sites museums etc. Very safe area too. The local team very informative introduction and we’re always available they would always check up to see if I was ok

I would advise people to learn Spanish before they go

They make applying easy, prepare you fully for your experience and have great locations and help you along the way and even during your trip. If youre unsure about going, I totally recommend it. It has been the best experiences I have ever had volunteering, they make you feel safe, have fun, and have many great extracurriculars to enjoy while on your trips, they also have activities you can book to connect with the local culture. This is a awesome company and I reccomend it 100%!! Please book with them!!

I felt so welcome there, the whole team in Lima were amazing! The actual volunteering was great and seems to have a real impact on those we were helping. The program was a lot of fun and I had a great time with all the people I met there. Lots of people came and went when I was there so I met loads of new people! I was able to do a wide variety of volunteering including a soup kitchen, painting and sanding a fence and house, childcare and helping in a carehome. We also had a lot of free time where we were able to spend exploring the local area which was incredibly cool and interesting!

It was an eye opening experience for me. Discovering that basic health care, screening or even basic health workshops is a luxury it was utterly shocking. But I learned about the health disparities the population faces. Types of health care facilities government provide and had a chance to visit health and prevent centre. I would recommend anyone to want to start their journey in health care or medical care. It also deepened my culture humility. One of the best experience I had in 2025. I also had chance to provide infographic that I had for the population such as what is balance diet, how to wash hands, how to brush teeth, wonderful opportunity to grow professional and personally as well. Apart from professional experience I met amazing people over the span of 2 weeks, great people form different part of the world. We at least had one meal together, before going to bed watch Netflix most of the days and go for walk. It was one of the best time I had.
