Start planning

9 days

Lima, Cuzco, Sacsayhuamán, Sacred Valley, Aguas Calientes – Estimated 5 Service Hours


Familiarize yourself with life in Peru, the third largest country in South America, through hands-on service projects and authentic interactions with locals. Every day you’ll build your confidence in Spanish through morning language lessons and in conversations with people from the area. As you work together with locals on a series of small community-based service projects, you’ll be immersed in the culture, expanding your fluency, and experiencing life as the Peruvians do. And, you’ll return home with a better understanding of what meaningful service means to you in an interconnected world.Image displaying map describing the itinerary of the Service and Language Immersion in Peru tour
