Second family

I had the best time with Proyecto Peru! During the 6 months living in the volunteer house I had so many amazing experiences and met the loveliest people who eventually became a second family to me! The PPC staff is a great team, all willing to make your stay an unforgettable experience. In my case they were absolutely successful! I would recommend a stay there and definitely will come back one day!

Already time to go?

I would totally book again with Proyectu Peru, but would sign up for another project. My psychology internship wasn‘t the best and i had rather used my time to study more spanish or help in another project. I was very happy though with the service Proyecto Peru provided. They always provided me with solutions and listened to my concerns. So Proyecto Peru was definitely the right choice, but the psychology program stills needs more organizing for it to be beneficial to people doing an internship. I would still come again and would totally recommend Proyecto Peru to anyone out there :)

My experience with ProyectoPeru

My experience with ProyectoPeru is one that I will forever cherish. I desired to carry out volunteer work during the pandemic, which was far from easy to find, and ProyectoPeru did an amazing job at facilitating options for me. I loved the fact that ProyectoPeru was a local program providing volunteer opportunities to their local community. Although difficult due to restrictions of the pandemic, Enrique, Linda and Dieuwke especially, made a huge effort in ensuring I not only enjoyed my volunteer programs but ensured I discovered what Cusco and its culture had to offer. I would highly recommend working with ProyectoPeru to anyone who aspires to volunteer to help grow struggling communities and to anyone who desires to explore the exquisite culture and beautiful scenery the Peruvian landscape provides.

My stay at proyecto Peru

My stay at proyecto Peru met all my expectations and more. The staff members help you out if you need something and give you tips, we're to wash your clothes, we're to buy food ect. The kitchen has anything you need and the rooms are no different than in Europe. What I liked the most was meeting all the other volunteers and Spanish students. Every single person I met tried to make you feel comfortable as the new person in the volunteer house. I would also recommend to take part in the weekly activities, as they are a great way to meet the people who are staying with host families and get to know cusco better.

Memories made in the Sacred Valley

I spent an amazing 2 weeks in the sacred valley volunteering at the Media Luna horse ranch! I loved getting to be apart of the community and experience the culture and life here. The mountains and wildlife are just breathtaking & getting to experience that on horseback was awesome. My host family was welcoming and kind. They helped me be apart of the community in a way I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own. Overall I had a very nice stay and felt at home. I had 1 week of private Spanish classes at my homestay as well. I also had the opportunity to try many types of delicious food and even cook a traditional meal with my volunteer family! All the while learning about the culture people and language. The absolute best way to learn is to experience, and Proyecto Peru offers a great opportunity for this. I definitely recommend this program and volunteering in the sacred valley! I’ve had many adventures and made memories that I won’t ever forget :)

I've spent three fantastic weeks in Cusco with Proyecto Peru. The staff are amazing and go out of their way to help you and ensure that your stay is enjoyable. The centre has a lovely relaxed vibe and the Spanish lessons couldn't have been better (shout-out to my teacher Luz!). Booking trips was also made incredibly easy by Angie and Enrique played a massive role in making me feel a part of the community
. Couldn't recommend this place more!

I would chose Proyecto Peru again, and again, and again...

I discovered Proyecto Peru by accident, but no chance could have ended better. A perfectly organized company, with immediate and decisive feedbacks and a very impressive package of programs. The staff is always extremely courteous, helpful and smiling (on top Enrique and Angie!), and the teachers patient and very knowledgeable (especially Patricia). My personal experience as a volunteer in the animal rescue center was formative. The two weeks at Proyecto Peru left me with wonderful memories, such as the social evening at the center where we meet to do multiple fun activities. What to say. Never has any discovery been more pleasant

The Best Spanish School in Cusco

The Best Spanish School in Cusco

I had an amazing time at Proyecto Peru. The staff were very friendly and helpful with everything. I really enjoyed the weekly activities as they were great opportunities to make friends with the other students and volunteers. My classes were very helpful and I improved my Spanish drastically. I really enjoyed the field trips we took so we could practice our Spanish outside of the classroom while also learning about the Peruvian culture. I would definitely recommend coming here!

Our experience with proyecto Peru

Proyecto Peru answer our petition very fast and they were very helpful. They are always available. Our experience was great because we could organize our internship and also our trips directly with them. They also have a lot of option for the housing and they have great activities planned for the volenteers every week. We met a lot of great people.

Perfect Proyecto Peru

As soon as I arrived in the Proyecto Peru Volunteer house, I felt warmly welcomed and at home. During the time I was here, I found a new big family and I would have liked to stay longer. The internship in the Kindergarten helped me to get new perspectives and it also really helped me to improve my Spanish. The stuff is extreamly friendly and helpful. Spanish lessons are great and conected to real life! :)
Gracias por todo!!!
