    Overview

    Our homebase in the Sacred Valley of the Inca has welcomed VISIONS groups for 25 years. Help Quechua indigenous communities on a lifeblood project: water. Add your name to the legacy of miles of water canals constructed with farmers whose crops and livelihoods would otherwise be in peril from the increasing drought conditions. The days are joyful working together, and there's plenty of time for exploration: Machu Picchu, ancient ruins, sprawling markets, chocolate-making workshops. 

    The high school students who participate in VISIONS Peru become part of the community of Urubamba, nestled in the Sacred Valley of the Inca at the base of the Andes. They join a 25-year tradition of deep friendships that are built upon the shared accomplishments of constructing water systems with indigenous Quechua people who rely on this water as lifeblood. We also work with children and do other hands-on service.

    In addition to high-impact projects, we journey to Machu Picchu, extraordinary artisan markets, ancient ruins, Incan salt mines, and more.

    VISIONS programs offer the opportunity for powerful personal transformation and radical community building, which together serve as a starting point on a life path of deep meaning and purpose. 

    Learn more on our website or by calling the VISIONS office at 406-551-4423.

      Everything was awesome. Would 100% recommend. This experience was definitely life changing. It really opened my eyes to a new way of life that you can't experience with any other company. Visions puts you right into a classic Peruvian way of life that everyone should experience. Plus nico is a legend.
