Take a unique and memorable trip around Peru - trek to Machu Picchu, learn the lingo and dance the dance, haggle at the markets, visit an alpaca farm, work with local children, sail around Lake Titicaca and more.

Learn hablar español in record time, with experienced teachers, small classes and lots of opportunities to practise. Activities such as tours of Cusco, cooking lessons, dance classes and parties make it even more fun.

A massively rewarding project that involves helping wash, feed and look after mentally and physically handicapped children, and, if you wish, getting involved in their lessons. Great whether you have care experience or just want to make them smile.

Step back in time in Cusco, once the capital of the Inca civilization. Trek into the Peruvian Andes and explore the ancient pathways the Incas once followed. Marvel at the spectacular ruins of Machu Picchu before enjoying a soak in the hot springs at Aguas Calientes.

Join this tour and experience a 6,000km overland adventure! Starting in Ecuador's mountain capital city of Quito, we travel through the Amazon jungle, down the Pan American Highway to Lima and finish in La Paz, the world's highest city.

Get totally immersed in Peruvian culture as you’re taken to Lima, Lake Titicaca, Machu Picchu and Huascaran National Park in the Andes. You’ll also study Spanish, stay with a Quechua India family and more besides.

Learn how to identify and photograph dolphins, penguins and other sea creatures. You’ll be working towards making dolphin watching a tourist attraction, and thus persuading fishermen not to kill them for food.
