In addition to the volunteer work and seminars by the leaders, volunteers will have the opportunity to take Spanish language classes at a local language school in Cusco, participate in cultural activities such as salsa lessons, and go on an overnight excursion to Machu Picchu to end the trip! This program is meant to provide an authentic, immersive, and comprehensive experience and hopefully each volunteer will return home with a deeper global perspective and appreciation for the world!
Note: While the “Local Leaders” Teen Summer Quest is not a formal group Quest, it will give teen volunteers an opportunity to travel with other volunteers similar in age during the specific dates. However, volunteers are traveling on a individual basis. Our In-country Coordinators are on the ground and will provide support during the dates listed and introduce volunteers to all the various project sites and leaders.
*Teens may be asked for a preliminary interview prior to enrollment completion to understand previous experience and motivations.
** Due to varying airline prices, United Planet does not arrange or cover the cost of flights to and from Peru. However, we arrange all ground transportation to and from the airport in Peru and will ensure that you arrive safely at your host house in Cusco. Public transportation to and from the projects is cheap and easy with Cusco’s public transportation system or by taxi. Daily commuting costs are covered by volunteers.
