“I enjoyed a lot my Cusco trip. I did a medical program in a public clinic in Cusco and I really liked it, but I think we could have stayed at least one day per week in a hospital, not just in the clinic, because I wanted do do some procedures that I didn’t have the chance to do in a clinic. About the family, everything was perfect. The mom was so attentive and great for us. About the city, Cusco has a lot of excursions to do and places to know. It’s a really good city.”

Hello Luisa, We are happy to know that you enjoyed a lot during your trip to Cusco- Peru. In regards to medical-healthcare volunteer placements, we only place participants in local healthcare clinics located in suburban Cusco as these clinics are not highly staffed and receive a good number of patients everyday unlike hospitals which are adequately staffed. Also, these clinics are located in areas where mostly people from low income situations reside. We only offer placement to medical volunteers in healthcare clinics and not hospital placements in Cusco. Glad to know that your experience with your host family was also very positive. We look forward to your participation in the programs in the future. Thanks Team Volunteering Solutions

“The 2 weeks I spent in Cusco, Peru were the absolute highlights of my summer. Living with a local family and sharing their everyday life was a pleasure for me. We volunteered in a small kindergarten, that was located in a poorer neighborhood. The kids were lovely and open. It was great to see and experience not only the beautiful side and the breathtaking sights of Peru but also this side of the country with its small everyday wonders. On the other hand it was a shame that we were not informed earlier about the details of our volunteering work. We could have prepared better for the task with more information. Also there were some problems around the organization of the trips and the infos that were given us were not once inprecise. All in all, it was a wonderful and eye opening experience!”

“Great experience - lovely host family great food and clean spacious accommodation really enjoyed my project and did lots of travelling and activities in free time. I loved my project. The teachers were welcoming and very friendly. It was a great opportunity to practise my Spanish and learn how to be teacher. I was given a lot of responsibility from day 1 and was in charge of the whole class so I really had a valuable experience of what being a teacher is like! My project highlights were host family (the mother feels like my second mum and was very caring) teaching English and being with the children -travelling and trekking in and around Cusco.”

“My overall experience was wonderful. I got to practice a lot of Spanish with my host family and numerous new friends I met along my journey. I had an amazing time with my host family - they were wonderful people - and I had an amazing experience in the medical clinic. Getting to see all of the beauty in and around Cusco and the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The experience was great the people were very friendly and my time was well-spent. Spending time with my host family visiting the Sacred Valley and visiting Machu Picchu were the highlights of my trip.”

“I volunteered at the Day Care Center in Cusco Peru for 2 weeks and it was an amazing experience. The program was very well organized the staff was very good and they made me feel very safe. I had a lot of fun being a part of this program. It was great working with the kids. I also opted for a hiking in the Rainbow Mountains. I would recommend this program to all because it is very well organized and the program is not very expensive.”
