STAYING ABROAD IN Peru?

5 good reasons

5 good reasons why a stay abroad in Peru is something very special:

1.

The stay abroad that expands your consciousness. The ruins of Machu Picchu will take your breath away. You can immerse yourself in a multicultural country full of traditions. You are guaranteed to take home special memories that you will cherish for decades to come.

2.

Peru is incredibly authentic. Peruvians live with nature and do not strive so much for Western influence and consumerism. During your work and travel stay, you will therefore come into contact with a completely different lifestyle - instead of traveling to a "second Europe or USA", as is the case in some countries.

3.

The Peruvians are great hosts. You will soon realize this during your stay abroad: The locals are usually open and curious about you as a visitor. They want to find out more about you as a German or help you with your trip.

4.

A cheap country for work and travel. As accommodation is included in the program, you only pay for food and transportation. In urban areas, you can expect to pay €5-10 for a meal in a restaurant, in rural areas it's even cheaper. Public transport is authentic and very cheap - around €1 per journey.

5.

The diverse, breathtaking nature. Whether on the coast, in the mountains or in the jungle: during your stay in the Peruvian countryside, you will experience the incredible beauty of the country with most of the world's cultural heritage sites and protected habitats. In Peru's nature, you can go hiking, ride horses or surf great waves.

YOUR ACCOMMODATION

Metropolis Lima, Andean city Arequipa, or Inca capital Cusco? During the Hostel Experience in Peru, you'll soon feel at home in your hostel. The best part? You'll meet many other travelers there faster than anywhere else. You'll share a dormitory in the hostel with other volunteers or guests. Additionally, you'll have access to a communal kitchen and other cool shared spaces like a courtyard, terrace, or living room. As a volunteer, you'll typically get a free breakfast in most hostels.

Immerse yourself in the rural life of Peru and live together with the two- and four-legged inhabitants at the farm in Pacora.
