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

We can personalize an immersive-experience for you or your group where you will gain an understanding of unique rural Peruvian perspectives! You choose the theme – whether it be just exploring and having fun or focusing on learning more about education, health, and/or non-profit operation. 

Over the course of your stay, you will have a chance to meet and interact with local women from our partner communities, local families from Ollantaytambo, and our international staff.

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!

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

For qualified professionals, we can also help you set-up service or shadowing experiences with a local health clinic. 

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