Absolutely recommend! I had an amazing time with the Living with a Local program. I was welcomed as family and truly felt included in the cohort of volunteers. The kids were full of energy and was so fun to work with. Fun activities were planned and I was able to learn salsa and Spanish. I came in with no clue what was going to happen and left with lifelong friends, unforgettable experiences, and new skills.

My stay in Cusco and working at the organization was truly unforgettable! Working with the kids was amazing, they are precious and so kind and truly welcomed me from my first day! We had so much fun together, along with all the amazing other volunteers, and I genuinely looked forward to every day at the school and getting to teach. There are so many amazing things to do in and around Cusco, and Coco and the team were so helpful in organizing those excursions and making sure that I experienced all the wonderful things the region had to offer! I would absolutely recommend!

10/10 experience! Right from the start the hosts made everything super clear and seamless. They were super helpful at organising weekend trips to explore the area and you have plenty of time before teaching to explore Cusco. Don't worry if your Spanish skills are limited- I spoke very little Spanish when I arrived but it was never an issue when interacting with the kids. The kids are so sweet and it is clear the positive impact this programme has on their livelihood. Combined with the great accommodation and welcoming family vibe from the other volunteers, this was an unforgettable trip!

My time at the proyecto was awesome. The kids are so much fun to be around and their energy is incredible. Everyone at the proyecto works to make it easy to get to see Cusco and the surrounding areas in your free time and its a great place to meet volunteers from all around the world!

This was my first time doing an NGO and I am so happy I chose Corazón the organization. The people running this project are so kind and the kids will give you so much love. The acommodation is spacious and way more modern than what i've had in other places while volunteering. The work with kids is chill and you have a lot of free time to visit all the archeological and cultural sites around Cusco and of course the nature. Cusco is also such an interesting place to da volunteering I think it's a must! My Spanish got so much better thanks to working with the kids. It's also an amazing internship!
