    Peru is unquestionably a wonderful nation that everyone ought to see at least once. Even the most seasoned travelers can be impressed by the distinctive nature, fascinating history, and ancient culture.

    Regretfully, Peru is known for more than just breathtaking sites like the well-known Machu Picchu; it also has a large number of stray dogs that live in appalling conditions. Many of the animals have been kept in very bad conditions, suffered from abuse or have been left to fend for themselves on the streets. They consume whatever food they can get their hands on and frequently get wounds or infections that cause them to die.

    There is a dog shelter in Cusco that provides many dogs with a new home in an effort to lessen the number of street dogs. About 50 dogs are being trained and cared for at this shelter right now (number is subject to change).

    The main objective of the shelter is to assist in the dogs' rehabilitation so that, once they are well, they can be placed for adoption. Situated on the outskirts of Cusco, the shelter is primarily dependent on donations and volunteer support. 

    This project is ideal for dog lovers who want to volunteer in Peru and change the world while doing so!

    Giornata tipica

    You will be responsible for a broad range of tasks as a volunteer at the dog shelter. These typically center on feeding and tending to the dogs as well as maintaining the kennels and facilities. Along with helping with medical procedures, you will be able to help train the dogs so they can eventually be put up for adoption after they have gotten used to being around people once more.

    The dogs will get affection, play, and walks from you. You might also help with marketing initiatives and maintain the dog shelter's social media accounts.

    It is critical that you show responsibility, punctuality, and a strong sense of commitment to your work. It goes without saying that having a strong dog affection is essential to having a great time while volunteering at the dog shelter.

    Half-day or full-day work schedules are available. It is possible to combine this volunteer work with a Cusco Spanish course.
    The full-day schedule runs from about 9 am to 5 pm with a lunch break, the half-day schedule can be during the morning or afternoon for about 4 hours.

    Note: There may be variations in the tasks. They rely on variables like the quantity of volunteers, the time of year, the project's present needs, and the volunteers' level of motivation. Maybe not every volunteer will take on all of these responsibilities.

    The city is well-known throughout the world as the beginning point for strenuous hikes on the Inca Trail and for excursions to Machu Picchu, the renowned Inca city and World Heritage Site.

    Cusco, a World Heritage Site and the former capital of the Inca Empire, grew significantly larger than all other Inca settlements by the 13th century. Traces of the city's turbulent and fabled past can be found throughout the streets and alleyways. 

    The colonial architecture shapes the very pretty cityscape of today, but the Inca era left impressive remnants as well, like the fabled seamless walls that are scattered all over the place. Many museums offer a comprehensive look into the history of the city.

    Cusco is a multifaceted destination that attracts tourists, serves as a base for excursions to Machu Picchu and its environs, and is a stunning modern city set against breathtaking scenery. Prepare to be astonished!

    During your free time you can pass the time with a wide variety of activities. Cusco is like an open air museum and you can witness the city's great history on every corner. Cusco also has a very modern side these days, there are many dance schools, bars, restaurants, clubs and shopping opportunities. In the area around Cusco you can satisfy your urge to exercise, because there are countless great hiking trails, horseback riding tours, outdoor sports, sightseeing tours, trips to historical sites and last but not least a visit to the must-see tourist spot Machu Picchu!

    Incontra il tuo ospite

    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!

      Independence
    South America Inside is an independent provider of language courses, internships, volunteer work, Farm Stays and Work & Travel programs in Latin America. 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.

    •  Multilingual Team

    Our team is multilingual and international! We speak fluent English, Spanish and German, as well as some French and Portuguese. 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
    With South America Inside you will have one and the same contact person before, during and after your trip. With that said, we guarantee a gapless and accurate information flow and you will always be very well informed.

      Approved Program Places
    Many of our program places, especially in the area of internships and volunteer work, are designed in the way that they will be recognized by most universities, colleges or academies.
