COUNTRY INFORMATION Peru is located in Western South America. The nation’s diversity and wealth are unlike many other countries in the world. Peru also has a rich cultural history which dates back to several Andean civilizations such as the Incan Empire. Within the last few decades, Peru has experienced some political and economic unrest as well as a violent insurrection. However, the country has been able to solve some internal issues and overcome other obstacles. If you've volunteered in Peru, we'd love to hear about your experience. Please let us know which organization you signed up with, what your trip was like, and if you'd recommend the program to others.
