Peru Volunteer Programs from $25/day | Most Affordable & Trusted

The support I received before going and while on the trip was really helpful, especially the programme guide, which included everything I needed to know about the trip. The opportunity to participate in IVHQ zoom calls before going was also helpful as it gave me more information and gives you the chance to ask any questions. I had an amazing experience volunteering with the turtles and crocodiles in La Ventanilla and learning about their conservation measures. Everyone there was so kind and friendly, and although I was nervous about travelling solo beforehand, they made me feel so welcome and safe. The food was delicious, and the accommodation was really nice. One thing I would say to anyone going on the project is to plan your transport back to the airport in advance. I found arranging this on my own quite difficult, especially with the language barrier, so I would recommend considering this before leaving for the project. Overall, I had an amazing experience and will definitely be booking another volunteer trip with IVHQ in the future!

I think the experience made me feel confident in working with other team members abroad. The experience overall was rewarding and I would definitely go to Peru again and also try more volunteer opportunities! I especially enjoyed my visit at Museo Larco, the set up was very creative and the garden was beautiful! I think with having certain destinations in mind prior to arrival would make the planning less stressful but also have a few other destinations in mind, thus making the most of my experience there.

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!!
