Volunteers will also have the opportunity to fix the root of health issues by installing cleaner burning stoves and water filters in community homes. You'll spend weekends exploring ancient Incan ruins, Andean forests, and all the art, music and cultural history that The Sacred Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has to offer.
