Over het programma

In Peru, you’ll join a group your age and take part in various exciting archaeological activities. Your project work can include the following:

Work with professional archaeologists and help with their activities at famous sites
Attend presentations to learn more about the ancient Incan Empire
Help preserve and maintain national heritage sites
Take part in community outreach days to give back to the local community
Your work will focus on the following areas:

Work with professional archaeologists and help with their activities at famous sites

You will spend a large amount of time working at archaeological sites. You’ll join our archaeological team, and they’ll teach you everything you need to know. You’ll gain experience with activities like:

-Mapping
-Workshops (drawing, registry works, ceramics and weaving)
-Cleaning and maintaining current sites
-Exploring areas for new sites
-Classifying artefacts

Attend presentations to learn more about the ancient Incan Empire

We also teach you a lot about archaeology outside of sites. Our staff will organise presentations for your group to give you a deeper insight to local history and events. You’ll learn about the famous ancient Inca death cults, the Great Inca Rebellion and more.

Help preserve and maintain national heritage sites

As an Archaeology volunteer, you’ll become part of our efforts to protect and preserve natural heritage sites.

You’ll work at Incan and Pre Incan ruins in and around the Cusco area. Unfortunately, some of the ruins here have been damaged by tourists in the past. You’ll help preserve and maintain these sites, so we can protect the country’s history.  

Take part in community outreach days to give back to the local community

Aside from archaeological work, there will also be opportunities to help the local community. We will organise community outreach days in disadvantaged areas. For example, you can paint and renovate a play area at a local school.

Afhaal aan de luchthaven op Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport

Both airport transfers are included in the project fee. So once you arrive a staff member will be there to meet you, then once your time on the project is over we will take you back in plenty of time so you can make your return flight!

Accomodatie

You'll stay with a host family in Cusco. They will welcome you into their home, eager to share their customs and have you teach them about your own culture. We believe that this is the best way to immerse yourself in the culture of Peru and have a truly unique experience.

On our High School Specials, we will always try to have you share a room with at least one volunteer or intern of the same gender and approximate age. Your room will be modest, but comfortable, clean, and safe.

Your programme fee includes three meals a day.

Eten & Drank

Your programme fee includes three meals a day and of course drinking water throughout your stay.

It's a great chance to try some local foods, although we are able to accommodate most type of diet for those who have additional dietary requirements
