Quick Facts

Our work and travel projects in Peru

Hostel experience

When working and travelling in a hostel, you will welcome guests from all over the world at reception, mix drinks at the bar, organize Beerpong tournaments or show young people the most beautiful corners of the city as a tour guide.

Our hostels in Peru are among the most popular and largest in the city, so there is always a lot going on. So you should be in the mood for a hustle and bustle and a party or two. Of course, you will also find relaxed places to retreat to.

You will improve your language skills (the Spanish course is included!), make new friends and experience adventures together.

In addition to your varied activities at the hostel, you will always have enough free time to get to know magical Peru.

Do you prefer rural tranquillity and working with animals? The Work and Travel Experience in Peru offers you that too:

After many years at school or university, is there anything better than exploring distant countries for a longer period of time?

Farm work

In the idyllic Peruvian village of Pacora, you are surrounded by nature while working with the horses on the ranch - so you have endless space to ride your horses extensively.

And the most beautiful beaches in Peru are only an hour's bus ride away.

If you choose the farm work option for your work and travel, you can pursue your passion for horses in traditional agricultural work as well as enjoy the natural landscapes and beaches. You will immerse yourself in the everyday life of a professional horse ranch and get to know and love Peruvian country life.

STAYING ABROAD IN Peru?

5 good reasons
Line

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. You will be warmly welcomed into a family-like atmosphere with farm staff and other volunteers. There, you'll spend not only your working hours but also your leisure time together. Meals are included, and you'll dine together. Accommodation on the farm is provided in a single or double room on the project grounds.
