VISIONS Service Adventures: Peru

My Visions trip was a genuinely life-changing experience that never wanders far from my mind. My school afforded me the incredible privilege of multiple service trips over my four years, and although each were significant, Visions impacted me in a way that is difficult to put into words. I cannot recommend this program highly enough.

My time with VISIONS in Peru was unforgettable! From the moment I arrived, I felt immersed in the culture, surrounded by breathtaking mountains and a welcoming local community. The service projects were both challenging and rewarding—I worked on projects that directly benefited the community, and it was amazing to see the impact of our efforts firsthand. Beyond the service work, I formed deep friendships with other participants and leaders. We shared laughs, conversations, and adventures—whether it was hiking, exploring local markets, or learning traditional customs. The experience pushed me outside my comfort zone and helped me grow in ways I never expected. I left Peru with a new perspective on the world, a stronger sense of purpose, and memories that will stay with me forever.

Visions is an amazing company that everyone should do. I did the Peru trip and it was amazing. They throw you right into a traditional Peruvian way of life that does not have any of the simplicities we have in the US. They challenge you yet every day was a fun experience. I say everyone should go to Peru and learn a new way of life. Some highlight were playing with local kids at the school. And playing some soccer with local kids at the public park. Those are the things that stuck out the most.
