The Issue
Peru is a beautiful travel destination, where there is a lot to discover and explore. Peru has a very interesting history and a rich culture that goes back thousands of years, as well as beautiful natural sceneries. However, there are also clear downsides in this beautiful country: Many children in Peru suffer poverty, abuse and precarious living conditions or even living on the streets. A lot of voluntary help is needed here to give children in need security, care and better prospects for the future.

The Program

The volunteer positions are all located in the beautiful colonial town of Cusco (starting point for visits to the world famous Machu Picchu). The volunteers are placed in children's homes for boys or girls. The children's homes are home to several dozen children. Some of the children are orphans or can not be cared for by their biological parents (socially very weak families). Others were picked up in the street or placed in homes by the Peruvian social welfare office because the parents do not fulfill their duty of care and responsibility (inter-family violence, alcohol, abuse, drugs, etc.). All children have in common that they have mostly traumatic experiences behind them, which have brought mostly mental or even physical consequences.
Through the projects, the boys and girls get a safe shelter, a balanced diet, clothing and medical care and education. It also ensures that the children receive a school education and hopefully can find their way back to a normal life. Children who have suffered traumatic experiences or been subjected to severe (sexual) abuse also receive psychological support to heal the often deep emotional wounds and to give them new perspectives. There is a donation of US$ 100 that has to be paid on site to the project, not in cash but in as a donation in kind.

The Location
The city is known worldwide as a starting point for adventurous hikes on the Inca Trail and for the trip to the famous Inca city and World Heritage Site of Machu Picchu. As the former capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco is itself a World Heritage Site and in the 13th century it had already reached a size much larger than all other Inca settlements. The history of the city is very eventful and legendary - traces of it can be found everywhere in the streets and alleys: today's very pretty cityscape is shaped by the colonial architecture, but there also are impressive remains from the Inca period, such as the legendary seamless walls that can be found everywhere. You can get a deep insight into the city's history in several museums. 

Today Cusco is a lot in one: tourist magnet, starting point for adventures to Machu Picchu and surroundings, as well as a beautiful modern city in a spectacular scenery - you will be amazed!

Journée typique

The best way to get to know a country with all its facets, to immerse yourself in the language and to experience the culture is to get involved in the local society. Our volunteer projects in Peru are designed to support local communities.
Volunteers assist the local staff in their daily routine tasks and can actively contribute their own ideas to the daily schedule. The tasks include:

  • Cleaning and tidying up the homes
  • Organizing cultural activities
  • Organizing and conducting (sports) activities

Sur le projet

South America Inside promotes intercultural, linguistic and educational exchanges. Its volunteer programs are addressed to students, professionals and retirees.

Rencontrez votre hôte

South America Inside is an intercultural management agency, founded back in 2003, which specializes in the promotion of programs abroad, language travel and educational programs throughout Latin America.

Since 2007, to enrich the experience of our global-minded clients and to provide them with even more possibilities, South America Inside has been expanding their program offerings throughout South and Central America.

Working together with some of the best language schools in Latin America, South America Inside provides high quality language courses in almost every Latin American country.

Thanks to a professional team of motivated and friendly staff, South America Inside has been very successful over the past several years and have been able to establish an outstanding network of what we call "Insider Contacts." To enrich the experience of their clients and to provide them with more possibilities, South America Inside has been expanding our program offerings throughout Central and South America, in addition to our well-established Chilean programs.

Volunteer Work

Do you dream of staying abroad while doing something positive? Are you looking for a unique experience that will leave a mark on your life? Then a Volunteer Work program in South America or Central America is perfect for you!

With South America Inside you can combine an adventure abroad with social commitment, and create lasting memories in Latin America. Support the protection of endangered species; help a local community construct new homes; give new hope to impoverished children.

The possibilities to lend a hand are diverse, as there are the many places where help is needed. We have classified our volunteer projects in different areas so you can easily find the one (or more!) projects that best match your needs and interests.

Why with us

There are many persuasive reasons that speak in favor of South America Inside when it comes to selecting your perfect provider of language, study and volunteer travel abroad. Following, we have prepared a short summary so that you can get us to know a little better.

Our Insider benefits at a glance:

  Regional Experience
Over one decade (established in 2003) of dedication to language, work and study travel programs in Latin America. Thanks to our long standing work and life experience in the South American continent, we know this region really well. Therefore, we can help and inform you in a professional and competent way.

  Multifaceted Offers
Over time we have developed new programs to offer a wide array of work abroad opportunities to our clients. We have been pioneers in launching new exchange programs, as we have been the first in offering Work & Travel/Working Holiday and Farm Stays in Chile and successfully introduced these programs into the market back in 2005. Since 2012, we are the only agency to offer this type of program in Costa Rica.

  Insider Advice
Despite living in the modern era of the internet, we know that reliable and competent advice is still an important criterion for most of us. At South America Inside, you will find the benefits of an internet provider and an independent travel agency. We will be glad to pass on our extensive knowledge and regional experience.!

  Location
It is difficult to run programs when there is nobody “on the ground” to evaluate existing options and search for new opportunities. So, we are located in Chile, on location, and we know everything that is going on first hand. We know what it is like to live as a foreigner in South America and will be happy to assist you in making your stay unforgettable!

We neither depend financially nor structurally on any other company, language school, association or organization. Therefore, we are able to give personalized information in accordance to your needs and availability.

With our customers, we can communicate in their native language and we avoid misunderstandings with local partners by communicating in Spanish with them. You can be sure that there will be an English-speaking contact person for you before, during, and after your stay.

  Customer Service
Excellent customer service is one of the most important goals for South America Inside, and this is evident with the positive feedback we regularly receive from our many happy clients. Emails are answered within 48 business hours and every client is treated with the same friendliness and expertise.

  Gapless and Accurate Information flow
