PROGRAM

Hosting organised groups of students for immersive learning
experiences in the Amazon rainforest of Peru

A once in a lifetime learning opportunity for students from across the world

Interacting With Local Communities

Many schools want their students to interact with local native communities and our school group programs help facilitate this is a safe manner. Students are given the chance to live with local families, help prepare food, harvest local fruits and vegetables and learn about the rich histories that shape these local communities. These interactions are also a wonderful opportunity for local communities, providing eco-tourism income and the chance for local children in these communities to learn from other young adults.
