LIVE, WORK AND TRAVEL IN PERU
One of the most amazing experiences for volunteers from all over the world can be lived in the Peruvian Andes region with the new Volunteers Program of Peru Cycling.
We offer you the opportunity to be part of our team and participate in the projects and activities we organize.
Sustainable Adventure Cycling & Touring, Social Assistance and Cultural Immersion
We research, study and explore to develop and create unique bike routes through superb scenic beauty Andean lands and bike trails to enjoy the wonders of our country and to enlarge our Routes and Destinations Catalog . These new routes and destinations will be offered as unique off the beaten path tours operated exclusively by Peru Cycling. These exclusive tours are the key tools to rise the funds supporting this Volunteers Program and the Social Assistance activities.
As a direct consequence of these activities the local communities involved in the new proposed destinations will benefit from our visits by supplying us the goods and services needed locally on the tours, such as food, accommodation, local guiding, animal transport, muleteers, etc., and also by selling their products, handcrafts, art work, etc.
We have the commitment to assist the local communities hosting us and in lack of some amenities such as basic sanitation (toilets) or good accommodation facilities by donating what they need and helping them to have ready such basic infrastructures. Also we assist local communities by training on hospitality services to make them our direct local services providers and partners. Moreover we encourage them to promote and extend their attractions as a new destination in the Peruvian touring industry.
The cultural immersion commitment implies the full respect for the local communities’ culture, avoiding any foreign negative impact against their authentic cultural identity. By learning and living the costumes and traditions we want to contribute to preserve the cultural heritage. Legends, stories and tales are also key content elements needed to make the Peru Cycling tours a unique off the beaten path experience.
As volunteer in our organization you will explore and travel throughout Peru, live real adventure, meet the people of our country and the people interested on our tours, learn the life style, legends, costumes and traditions of Peru in the cities and in the remote villages on the Andes mountains, learn our language and enjoy of a nice place to stay and work together with people like you interested in a true life experience in Peru.
