Trip of a lifetime

As a 50-year-old woman travelling with her teenage daughter I was filled with trepidation before the trip. However it was all needless worry. From the moment we arrived in Puerto Maldonado we will made welcome and part of an extended family. Despite a trip to the local hospital on the middle weekend This trip was absolutely the trip of a lifetime. Highlights included, but are absolutely not limited to, hand feeding bears, holding hands with monkeys, keeping a Nightingale warm in the palm of my hands, meeting amazing people from all over the world and making friends for life. Even the accommodation which was basic was more than enough as time in them was limited through work but also socialising. All in all .... a FANTASTIC TIME was had.

What would you improve about this program?
The food was basic but to be fair the kitchen was pretty basic too.

Cusco, Peru, Archaeology

Sverything was amazing!!!!! I would defenetly do it again if it would not be that expensive. I paired around 3000 for two weeks. For other volunteer or internships I pay that for two months. Besides that it was fantastic!!!
The stuff was very open and easy to work with. They fought you everything you needed to know and let you work alone. It was a great way to learn to take responsibility. We also did not only go to already excavated areas but also explored new sites. That was very exciting. The text they sent me right before the trip was extremely helpful. I had everything with me and I actually needed everything on that list.
It was freezing at night, so my house family kept on giving me blankets. It was amazing to life with a family there!
Thank you for that wonderful experience!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I ate for the first time lama, alpaca, and guinea pig. The guinea pig was one of the best thinks I ate. If you are not vegetarian, defenetly try it. You can eat it with the head off. Makes it a little easier to try ;)
