Product Details

If you're looking to experience life in South America, Peru is a great place to start as it offers a colourful, vibrant way-of-life, and borders many other countries that offer unlimited travelling opportunities throughout your experience.

You’ll travel to Peru on a group flight and on arrival will spend three days taking part in a worthwhile and enjoyable arrival orientation, which enables you to get to know your group, and learn about the practicalities of life in South America, including culture, customs and safety issues. You'll also enjoy pre-arranged tours with your orientation group, including excursions to local places of interest such as a city tour of Lima. Once you have completed the orientation you'll move on to your placement for either 2 or 3 months.

Placements are developed according to your own experience, skills and interests. You will work at the Flores de Villa community based project located on the outskirts of Lima. In the past, placements have included education, childcare, health centre-based work and construction. A basic level of Spanish is required.

You'll be living with a host family for the duration of your placement, and therefore will become involved in daily family life and enjoy local food (provided by your host family).

.Many other international volunteers will also be based in Flores de Villa and you'll have the opportunity to meet up and spend your days off exploring Peru, taking in such places as Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and the Amazon basin, to name but a few. Many participants also take time at the end of their project to travel with the new friends that they’ve made.

Programme costs are £899 or £1099 for 8 or 12 weeks respectively and include full pre-departure advice and support, a three day arrival orientation (including tours and accommodation), accommodation and placement costs for the duration of the programme (including meals) and 24/7 support from BUNAC’s local partner organisation for the duration of your stay.
