Frequently Asked Questions
What is the weather like in Peru?
June and July are part of the dry season in Peru. The weather will be warm, dry days and cold, dry nights. It will cool off significantly in the evenings, so be sure to follow the Clothing and Equipment List we will provide after you are accepted.
What are the accommodations like in Peru?
We will stay in a variety of accommodations. Occasionally, we will be in small hotels or eco lodges. While participating in service projects we will stay in a community center or private campgrounds. We will always have access to running water, toilets, and showers.
What kind of service work can I expect to perform?
We will be performing a variety of service projects on our trip. Each year the service projects vary depending on the need that is expressed by the members of the various communities that we visit. The activities vary from year to year depending on need, but we will always work with a project that is beneficial to the local people - infusing labor, time, energy, and financial resources into impoverished areas in Peru.
Do I need to know Spanish?
No. All of your Wilderness Ventures leaders will be fluent in Spanish and the local guides will be bilingual. When we travel through the small towns in between activities, locals will love to talk with you as well.
Will I get to learn any Spanish?
Plenty. Weather you're fluent, have some knowledge of Spanish or are starting from scratch, you'll have plenty of opportunity to learn, practice and challenge your language skills on this adventure. We'll also start our adventure with a day of fun language and Cultural instruction.
