Mijn Bestemming Peru

The word voluntourism comes from volunteer and tourism melded into Voluntourism.

Doing Volunteer work and tourism is a way to learn about the people and place you are visiting on a deeper level. Participating in voluntourism is a way to establish long-lasting connections, discover more about cultures around the world, and about yourself. It is most definitely a way to give back to a community you are visiting, to lend a helping hand to someone in need, to work towards a cause you believe in, or simply to find a way to make a positive impact through your travels.

Your short trip might not "change the world" with one or two months of volunteering, but it will expose you to new cultures, new friends, and inspire you to return or help contribute to a project's goals over the long term.

Voluntourism is the focus of Mijn Bestemming Peru. We believe it is an important part of making tourism more sustainable, that it provides travellers and communities a way to connect, to learn, to appreciate each other's cultures, and work towards a better future. Voluntary work provides opportunities for travelers to engage in community projects that are working on health, education, social work, conservation and small business opportunities around Latin America.
