Inca Projects in Peru - 2 week volunteering 'taster'

Do you want to find out more about the amazing history of the Inca civilisation? You will arrive in the Inca's Sacred Valley of Peru to work outdoors, surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Andes to help with our archaeological digs and restoration projects.

Your trip will begin with an introduction to the grandeur of the Inca Empire. You will then be taken to the small Andean hamlet of Huyro, where you will work with our local archaeological experts. Here we work with the Peruvian Historical Institute helping to uncover and reconstruct Inca terraces and buildings in an area only recently discovered as a new Inca settlement.

Volunteering in Peru in your Summer Holidays

You will be taken to see many of the archaeological wonders of Peru including the magnificent Machu Picchu and Ollantaytambo where the Inca fought their last battle with the Conquistadores. You will be able to visit the ruins and see the markets of traditional Peruvian towns. You could even white-water raft down the Urubamba River and have a last night out in the Inca capital, Cusco.

The price of this placement is £995, with an additional charge of £395 if you want to extend for an extra week. This includes accommodation, food, insurance, in-country transportation and support, work experience and leisure activities.

Archaeology in Peru also runs as one of our standard projects, for anyone aged 17 and up. For more information please follow this link: Peru Inca Project
