Over het programma

This archaeological project in Peru's Sacred Valley offers international volunteers an immersive experience in archaeology and cultural heritage preservation. Located near Cusco, participants work with experienced archaeologists on tasks like site maintenance, artifact codification, reticulation, and mapping, tailored to the needs of each site. Volunteers travel to various historical sites, directly contributing to the preservation of national heritage locations.

Partnering with Peru’s Ministry of Culture for 15 years, the project covers over 300 sites in the Sacred Valley, including Ollantaytambo, Moray, and Chinchero. The duties vary by site, and volunteers receive comprehensive guidance from local staff and archaeologists.

Volunteers must be prepared for physically demanding tasks and adhere to strict guidelines to respect and protect these invaluable heritage sites.

Daily tasks may include:

  • Creating maps of sites and exploring areas for new sites
  • Participating in workshops (drawing, registry works, ceramics, and weaving)
  • Cleaning and maintaining sites (sweeping, cutting grass, removing weeds, etc.)
  • Reticulating and codifying newly marked rocks
  • Classifying artifacts
  • Assisting in the conservation and upkeeping of national heritage sites
  • Engaging in community events to support the local population
