Authentic Andean culture with kids & families in Cusco
What should you do?
We are Cusimaky in Cusco, a grassroots project far from mass tourism. Our children attend school but lack supplies; many start their day with just a "mate" (local herbal infusion) and bread. They will welcome you with spontaneous hugs! However, our families carry a millenary shyness (p'enqakuy). We need to build trust first—as we say here, to "loosen our braids" (soltar las trenzas).
Role: Homework support, English, and games.
Fee: 160€ sustainability fee covers workshop materials and daily meals for our 30 kids. Intermediate Spanish required. Come experience authentic Andean culture!
What do you get from us?
- Deep Cultural Immersion: Experience authentic Andean culture and daily traditions far from mass tourism.
