Volunteer Vacations
Evaluate carefully
Like many developing countries, Peru has a wide range of volunteering options. Always look into the details of any volunteer organization to be sure that they are transparent in how funds are spent and who benefits from the volunteers’ work.

One way to look for legitimate organizations, is to check for their certifications. Companies like International Volunteer HQ are certified as B Corporations, meaning that they have been externally audited for social and environmental impact.
