Diana L. Smith2025-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience at Proyecto Peru. I arrived with very rusty Spanish and after 3 1/2 weeks of 3 hours of private classes a day I have learned so much and am speaking with much more confidence. My teacher was wonderful! I also took several great tours through Proyecto Peru. They were fascinating and a great opportunity to continue learning Spanish. I was particularly grateful for the care the staff took when my Inka Trail trek was canceled the day before I was scheduled to depart due to trail conditions. The staff worked very hard to find a great alternative trek that would still leave the next day and get me to Machu Picchu. I highly recommend the classes and tours through Proyecto Peru! Stefano x2025-03-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Proyecto Peru has been very POSITIVE. Regarding the project, I worked on the AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM with kids. Sometimes the project can be a bit confusing and would benefit from more organization, with a more structured educational plan for the children participating. As for the accommodation, I stayed in the VOLUNTEER HOUSE. It's really like feeling at home. The spaces are large and adequate, the kitchen is well-equipped, and the common area is comfortable for spending evenings chatting with other volunteers. The people working at Proyecto Peru offer their professionalism and availability to ensure the best experience possible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Host family were angels on earth, and the experience overall was wonderful Denise Plaumann2024-09-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My time at proyecto peru was really enjoyable. The house is nice and clean. I did the medical project and it was well organized. At the hospital I had the chance to observe a lot of surgeries and shadow the doctors. Sometimes I also helped the nurses filling out some paper work or take care of the patients. My Spanish classes with proyecto Perú were really good. I loved my Spanish teacher and we had a great time. Luke Scimeca2024-08-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoyed my time at the school. My Spanish has improved so much in just a month and I feel a lot more confident. The weekly activities are also super fun and you can meet a lot of different people. Keanu Veerasingam2024-07-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the most incredible experience volunteering with Proyecto Peru. I had the opportunity to work in both an animal shelter and an afterschool project with kids, and every moment was truly rewarding. The agency arranged for me to stay with a wonderful host family for six months. They were incredibly kind, made the most delicious food, and significantly helped me improve my Spanish skills. Thanks to their support, I was able to learn Spanish quickly and comfortably. I highly recommend Proyecto Peru for anyone looking for a meaningful and enriching volunteer experience. Five stars all the way! Laurine Görtler2024-04-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent 4 weeks at Proyecto Peru. During that time I met the loveliest people, had the craziest nights and so many memories I won‘t forget. The time at my project was super cute. I loved spending time with the children and playing with them. I always felt welcome at the house. Thank you PPC! Ines H2024-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the best time with Proyecto Peru! During the 6 months living in the volunteer house I had so many amazing experiences and met the loveliest people who eventually became a second family to me! The PPC staff is a great team, all willing to make your stay an unforgettable experience. In my case they were absolutely successful! I would recommend a stay there and definitely will come back one day! Xuyen Doan2024-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Proyecto Perú has been nothing short of phenomenal. My intentions here were to improve my Spanish for my long term career plans. I spent 4 weeks with the program as a dental intern. I enjoyed the structure that the program provides. I spent a couple hours a day with formal classes, which the professors have expertise in modifying the speed and style of each lesson. I spent most of my time chatting about pertinent cultural and pertinent topics. My dental clinic experience has been great as well. The doctors and team have been awesome and have added to my personal and professional development. My home stay has been inviting and I’m happy that I was able to live and share my life with my family. Overall I recommend this program because of the comprehensive approach and the friendly and professional staff. A big shout out to Enrique, Cherelyn, Drs. Juliana and Jose, y Patricia. I am thankful for such a great experience!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
