How This Trip Can Change Your Life
  • Working remotely from Peru will give you the opportunity to experience a new culture and way of life, while still fulfilling your work responsibilities. This change of scenery could inspire new ideas, foster creativity, and give you a fresh perspective on your work and personal life.
  • Your children will have the chance to learn about a new culture, taste different foods, and make new friends, which can broaden their horizons and give them a more global perspective. This experience could spark an interest in learning new languages, exploring new cultures, and meeting people from around the world.
  • Immersing yourselves in a new environment can be a transformative experience for the entire family. You’ll have the opportunity to challenge yourselves, step out of your comfort zone, and learn new things about yourselves and each other. This shared experience could strengthen your family bonds, create lasting memories, and inspire a sense of adventure that carries over into your daily lives.
overview

Peru is a unique, multicultural, and colourful country full of contrasts, from the coastal lands of the capital and the dunes of Ica, crossing the Andes Mountains Range up to the Peruvian Amazon.

This family-oriented trip takes you and your family to the Andes mountains, where you will explore Peruvian culture and the astonishing legacy of the Inca people. World-renowned for the wondrous archaeological ruins of Machu Picchu, your family will have the opportunity to immerse yourselves in a region where the landscape surrounds you with soaring mountains and rushing rivers. All of your senses will be awakened by lively villages bustling with friendly people wrapped in the bright, vivid colours of their traditional textiles, distinctive music, and unique cuisine. Parents, kids and teens will have an unforgettable experience as a family, making new friends and discovering one of the planet’s most remarkable regions.

This learning adventure is for kids and teens ages 7-16, who will get to meet local, similarly aged Peruvian youth for cultural learning projects and local excursions. Their time together will provide language immersion for visiting youth and opportunities to explore abundant nature while participating in field trips and workshops in various aspects of Peruvian culture, such as pottery, cooking, and music.  This will allow you to spend your weekdays working remotely, exploring nearby villages, choosing an outdoor adventure activity, or participating in a workshop to learn about fascinating aspects of Peruvian culture. During the evenings and on weekends, all families come together to connect and spend time with newfound friends in the programme as well as local families.

Your family will spend the month on the outskirts of the quaint and typical Andean village of Calca. Nestled in the foothills of the Andes Mountains and alongside the Urubamba River, discover a delightful collection of spacious modern bungalows and cabins designed in rustic chic style, providing an idyllic home-away-from-home. The bungalows and cabins have two to four bedrooms, sleeping six to 12 people, bathrooms, a well-appointed kitchen with indoor and outdoor dining areas, high-speed internet, and an outdoor patio and yard area.

The program is highly selective, and participation is strictly limited, accepting a maximum of sixteen families. The application process consists of submitting an online form describing your family, which typically takes about ten minutes.

"Last summer my family joined 13 other families for the Working Without Borders 1-Month Family Adventure on the island of Moorea in French Polynesia. Interestingly, I have found in the months since, as many friends and family have asked me about our time there, I have almost never talked about the incredible and breathtaking beauty of the island … nor have I focused much on telling them about the - almost overwhelming - abundance of fun-filled adventure activities, cultural experiences, and interesting learning opportunities the island offers. Make no mistake, Moorea indeed is and has all these things! However, when I am asked the inevitable “What was it like, spending a month on an island in the South Pacific?”, the thing that I am almost bursting to share, the part that had the greatest impact on my family was absolutely the people. All the incredible people we met and spent our days with … learning, exploring, laughing, and growing. Wonderful friendships that we made with the other visiting families in our group … the time we spent with local people and their families, asking questions, learning about their lives, and sharing about ours. I don’t feel that I can adequately express how full my heart was each day when I picked up my 9-year-old at camp and she was just bubbling over with excitement about how much fun she and her friends at camp had all day exploring the island and the lagoon with their beloved Camp Director and staff. And my 13 year old was equally thrilled to be part of a simply amazing program for teens that focused on Polynesian culture and Marine Science … with 20 local and visiting teens, all such great kids! These teens had SUCH an authentic immersion into each other’s culture! The thought, care, and love that the local staff put into the details and organization of this teen program was incredible. In fact, this 1 Month Family Adventure in Moorea with WWB made SUCH an impact on my family that I am now working for WWB as a Trip Designer so that I can help connect as many families as possible these very special 1-Month experiences!"
