Embark on an unforgettable 11-day high school trip through Peru's most spectacular landscapes, where adventure, service, and cultural immersion collide! Your journey begins in Arequipa, a stunning colonial city nestled between volcanoes, or deep in the High Amazon Basin, where you’ll dive into a meaningful community service project in a rural village. Work alongside locals on initiatives like sustainable farming or school improvements while practicing Spanish in real-world settings—an experience that will deepen your connection to Peru’s people and traditions.
From there, travel to the Sacred Valley, where history comes alive as you explore the mystical Valley of the Gods, the bustling artisan markets of Pisac, and the awe-inspiring Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo. Your adventure culminates at the crown jewel of the Andes: Machu Picchu, where you’ll experience the legendary Lost City of the Incas, a moment you’ll never forget.
This isn’t just a trip—it’s a transformational journey that blends service, language immersion, and once-in-a-lifetime exploration. You’ll return home with new perspectives, lasting friendships, and memories of Peru’s breathtaking landscapes and warm-hearted communities. Ready to answer the call of the Andes?
