Peru Andes Mountains: A Mission of Healing & Hope

Join a Life-Changing Medical & Dental Mission in the Andes!

Are you ready to make a real impact? Travel with CERT International to the breathtaking Andes Mountains, where rural farming communities have little to no access to healthcare—and where hope is needed most.

You don’t have to be a medical or dental professional to make a difference! We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds and ages (children 10+ included). Whether you’re assisting in clinics, offering compassion, or sharing the love of Christ, your presence matters.

**Please Note** High elevations vary from 11,000- 14,000 ft (Team members are responsible for taking whatever precautions they deem necessary).

What You’ll Experience:

• Provide essential medical and dental care to underserved communities.
• Partner with local Cusco churches and missionaries to bring healing and hope.
• (Subject to Schedule) Serve at a local orphanage, making a difference in children's lives.
• Immerse yourself in a culture rich in history and hospitality.
• Stay comfortably in a local Cusco hotel (double occupancy).

We’ll journey into remote villages each day to set up free medical and dental clinics, offering care from morning to late afternoon. This mission trip isn’t just about providing treatment—it’s about changing lives and sharing the love of Christ in tangible ways. Be part of something bigger. Be the hands and feet of Jesus.
