The Karikuy Organization


  • Mission

    Your goal while volunteering in Peru for Karikuy is to gather as much information about the Peruvian culture in order to present fresh content for our blog and social media. As a volunteer it will be your job to update these mediums with subjects that peak your interest whether food, dance, art, music, travel, sports, politics or history, you will have the flexibility to explore topics that engage you. This volunteer program can truly be a young writers dream and a perfect opportunity for bloggers and social activists to polish their skills. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to work on our organizations Humanitarian programs such as our Kawsay and Karikuy Aid Programs.

    About Us

    The Karikuy Volunteer Program returns in 2019 after a brief break to improve the infrastructure to house more volunteers at a time. Our 2019 season begins in March with lodging at just US$65 a week!. You will be expected to work Monday through Friday on our projects which include our travel blog, fundraising and running our Humanitarian programs. On the weekends you are free to travel throughout Peru visiting locations such as Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines. In addition to having the opportunity to live like a local, volunteers will receive help planning trips across Peru and be given special prices on services through Karikuy Tours Peru. This is great opportunity for bloggers and journalists as well as the passionate traveler who wants to have an in depth look at Peruvian Culture.
