Multi-Week Immersive Experiences for Groups, Schools, Universities, and Travelling Professionals!

We can personalize an immersive-experience for your group where you will gain an understanding of unique rural Peruvian perspectives on education, health, and non-profit operation. You will meet our community health workers, observe our trainings and health education materials, visit some of our remote partner communities in the Andes, and get a glimpse of nonprofit operations in our region. For qualified professionals, we can help you set-up service or shadowing experiences with the local health clinic. You will learn through hands-on experiences and direct contact with people from our region!

We can arrange accomodation in homestays or hotels, on-the-ground transportation, a visit to Machu Picchu, other tours/excursions, visits to other local NGOs, language classes, dance classes, cooking classes, and other cultural experiences!

We welcome all interested participants, but are particularly suited for those interested in medical fields, public health, education, social sciences, sustainable development, and NGO operation.

In some cases, we can offer college-credit for your visit!

Come visit us for anywhere from a half-day to a couple months!
