    This program is ideal for:

    Volunteers who have a keen interest in history and the cultural preservation of ancient sites.

    Project details

    Unearth and discover ancient treasures as you involve yourself in cultural heritage preservation efforts. Nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of the Sacred Valley of Peru, this program offers an unparalleled opportunity to dig deep into the mysteries of ancient Incan civilization.

    What to expect and how you'll make an impact

    As a volunteer, you’ll play a vital role in maintaining and exploring significant historical sites. You will always work alongside seasoned archaeologists who will guide you through the intricate layers of the Inca and Pre-Inca ruins.

    Assisting with site maintenance and upkeep will be your primary role. However, there may be opportunities to participate in new excavation projects within the historical sites of the Sacred Valley. Alongside the archaeological preservation team, you can expect to dedicate your valuable time to tasks including, but not limited to:

    • Assisting in the conservation and upkeep of national heritage sites through mapping, cleaning, and maintenance of sites
    • Exploring areas for new excavation sites
    • Classifying artifacts
    • Attending lectures to expand your knowledge of the ancient Incan civilization
    • Engaging in community events to support the local population.
    • Activities are determined based on field conditions and the archaeological sites’ specific needs, so you must be open and flexible in your assigned tasks.

    Important to note: This project required a high level of physical fitness, as there is a lot of hiking, climbing, and being on your feet for long periods of time. It also demands a significant level of focus and commitment. It’s essential to approach the work with the gravity it deserves, ensuring that each task is handled with the utmost care and dedication.

    What recent volunteers said about their IVHQ experience

    This trip, especially the Amazon conservation program, was one of, if not the best experiences of my life. I highly recommend it.

    I was scared at first as I was a solo 17-year-old female traveler but I felt very safe with IVHQ's support. I learned so much about myself, plants and animals, and other cultures. I was also scared about not having service in the Jungle for two weeks, but It was such a nice experience. I got so close to some of the coolest people I've ever met, and made such amazing memories. I could go on forever about this program, you should definitely do it if you are thinking about it.

    I really appreciated all the specific information about the program and the all the help from IVHQ and the local team before and during my stay in Peru.

    A person has to be able to leave the comforts of their home behind and adjust to the different environment. I found it to be a great experience, it sure helps if you speak the language, which I do. I am looking forward to another volunteer opportunity.

    IVHQ was very organized and it helped me make my process so easy! I planned this trip only two weeks before my start date and they were able to accommodate us fast! I was checked up on through the program by IVHQ and the local team! I loved it and will do it again!

    I have done two volunteer program with IVHQ, and most recently the Amazon Jungle Conservation program in Peru. I felt very prepared by the guidance and resources provided by IVHQ. They gave me all the information I needed but was happy I could also ask questions if needed. The jungle conservation changed my life, opened my eyes to a new way of living and provided me a new set of skills.

    If you are hesitant, look at reviews on different sites, but I can fully say that I would 100% do a third program and have recommended several people to IVHQ as it is a safe and reliable company.

    Location

    Archaeology volunteer abroad project in Peru, Cusco with IVHQ

    Location

    You will spend your first night in Cusco, and following orientation on Monday, you will travel with the local team to the project site. You will be based in a small farming village in the Sacred Valley, set on the Urubamba River just south of Cusco.

    Arrival and orientation

    Volunteers need to arrive in Cusco on the Sunday before their start date.

    After you have registered for the program, please book your flights to arrive at the Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) in Cusco. Your airport pick-up is included in your Program Fee. We recommend that volunteers under the age of 18 travel internationally with a notarized letter from their parents to support their documentation.

    When you arrive, you will be greeted at the airport by a member of the local team and transported to the local team’s main office and then to your homestay. Your accommodation is covered by your Program Fee and includes the night before your program orientation.

    If you are travelling in Peru prior to your volunteer program, we can arrange for you to be picked up in Cusco on the day before your program orientation.

    The local team will aim to complete your general program orientation shortly after you arrive, no matter what day you arrive, in order to acclimatize you to your surroundings in Cusco as quickly as possible. Orientation lasts around 2 hours and covers everything you need to know for your volunteer program – introduction to Peru, Peruvian customs, language lesson details, rules and expectations, safety, travel opportunities in Cusco, introduction to your project and placement. This is also followed by a walking tour. Orientation sessions are scheduled throughout the day, with the last being around 4:00 PM. If you arrive after this time, don’t worry; the local team will ensure this is completed first thing the following morning.

    Volunteer schedule example

    A typical schedule for the Archaeology project might be as follows:

    Weekdays

    Volunteers on this project work Monday to Saturday and relax on Sundays. A typical schedule might be as follows:

    8:00 AM Breakfast at your accommodation.
    9:00 AM Volunteer work begins.
    1:00 PM Return to your homestay for lunch.
    2:00 PM - 6:00 PM You can rest, explore independently, or participate in various cultural immersion activities around the house/farm, such as processing cacao, learning to cook with local ingredients, or other immersion activities alongside your hosts.
    6:00 PM Dinner at your accommodation.

    In the evenings, you can relax, play traditional games like Sapo, and converse with other volunteers and hosts.

    Weekends

    Because of the remote location, volunteers tend to stay at the placement during the weekends and keep enjoying the immersive experience of living with a local family. We recommend bringing books, games, or other activities. Volunteers can return to Cusco at their own expense.

    Accommodation and WiFi

    Volunteers stay in a nearby farming village hosted by a local family. Volunteers can expect to share a room with others of the same gender. Living is rustic but comfortable. There is cold running water, electricity, and no internet.

    Please note that homes in Peru are not typically heated, but your hosts can provide additional blankets upon request. We also advise wearing layered clothing. Due to the altitude, temperatures can drop at night.

    Meals

    While in Cusco (Sunday and Monday when you first arrive), volunteers receive breakfast and dinner, and are required to purchase their own lunch. Once you’ve transferred to the project location you will receive breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day.

    A typical Peruvian breakfast consists of bread, spreads and fruit or bread and eggs accompanied by tea or coffee. Lunch and dinner commonly consists of potatoes and rice, with some vegetables or protein (commonly chicken). You should not expect to have meat everyday.

    Please advise us in advance regarding any dietary requirements so that we make special arrangements for you. However, it’s important to be somewhat flexible due to the limited resources at this location.

    Weather and climate: Peru, unlike other equatorial countries, does not have an exclusively tropical climate; the influence of the Andes and the Humboldt Current causes great climatic diversity within the country. In the mountains, rain is frequent during summer and temperatures and humidity diminish with altitude up to the frozen peaks of the Andes. The jungle has heavy rainfal​l​ and high temperatures, with the exception of its southernmost part, which has cold winters and seasonal rainfall.
