Service Learning in PeruService tours provide an opportunity for you to im-merse yourself in a new culture in a unique and meaningful way. Participate in a two-day program in the village of Cachiccata, located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. After a warm welcome from the com-munity, you will make improvements to the school infrastructure, take part in a language exchange, and participate in a reforestation project. You will also work directly with local school children, teaching them songs and preparing breakfast for them on the second day. At the end of the second day, cap your service learning experience with a friendly farewell soccer game.

Machu PicchuA 35-mile-long trail winds through desert, cloud for-est and an orchid-filled jungle before reaching Machu Picchu. Today, this fabled “Lost City of the Inca” is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Archaeologists have yet to determine why the site, perched atop a mist-shrouded peak, was abandoned. See remnants of temples and terraces that have yet to reveal the true purpose of Machu Picchu—some believe only an elite Incan priesthood knew of its former existence. Your visit will consist both of a guided tour and free time to explore on your own.

CuzcoThe city of Cuzco—literally, “navel of the Earth”—is the former epicenter of a vast empire stretching from Colombia to Chile. After adjusting to the high altitude, take a guided tour beginning at the Korikan-cha Temple, scene of Incan religious rites in bygone times. Continue to the Sacsayhuaman fortress, a feat of masonry that confounds modern scientists; its irregularly-shaped stones are pieced together so pre-cisely that even a piece of paper cannot be wedged between them. You’ll also see the impressive ruins at Kenko and Tambomachay. Journey to the Sacred Valley of the Incas to see Pisac, a traditional Indian market town, as well as the exquisitely preserved canals and narrow streets of Ollantaytambo.
