peru
There are some places in the world that hardly seem real. Mountains that stretch into the clouds. Ancient cities built high in the Andes. Colorful villages, incredible landscapes, and some of the most unforgettable adventures you'll ever have.
Peru is one of those places.
But there's a lot more to love here.
We'll work alongside families in the mountains of Cusco to improve their homes and provide basic necessities, spend time helping at a school for children with special needs, and join rural jungle communities in planting native trees and caring for the natural environment. Along the way, we'll get to know the people, hear their stories, and learn what life looks like in this beautiful part of the world.
And somewhere in the middle of all that, we'll bike through the Andes, raft down a river, fly across a valley on a zipline, swim with sea lions, and make our way to one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
There's a lot to see in Peru. And a lot of good to be part of.
Come learn the good life in Peru.
why peru?
One of the things people love most about RISE is how much the trip changes from day to day.
In Peru, that might mean helping a family improve their home one day, working alongside students and teachers at a local school the next, then planting trees in a rural jungle community, biking through the Andes, exploring Machu Picchu, or swimming with sea lions in the Pacific Ocean.
We'll also hopefully have the opportunity to visit the Lima Peru Temple and participate in baptisms.
It’s fun to wonder which project, person, or moment might end up meaning the most to you.

WHAT THEY'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT
Nora
So hard to choose, it was all so incredible! However, spending time at the orphanage was so meaningful and fun for me. It was great to get to all work together
Ben (parent)
The variety of activities and experiences packed into such a short time. They gave my son an unforgettable experience and was a wonderful way to help prepare him for serving a church mission!
