STM 2018 STM Peru

From locations.adventures.org

Filled with jaw-dropping terrain, Peru is one of the most bio-diverse countries on Earth. Peru’s landscape includes the lofty peaks of the Andes, vast coastal deserts and the lush, tropical rainforests of the Amazon Basin.

The birthplace of several proud, ancient civilizations, present-day Peru is home to multiple indigenous groups that blend into a unique and beautiful culture.

Sadly, the people of Peru struggle with high levels of poverty and class inequality. Government corruption hinders Peru’s economic development and the people face many problems such as teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and crime (particularly theft).

Difficult circumstances have created a strong hunger for hope.

Peruvians—especially those living in poverty—are amazingly open and responsive to the Gospel. God is powerfully at work in this South American country.

Experience Peru

Cusco is one of the oldest cities in the Americas, having been inhabited continuously for over 3,000 years. It was the historic capital of the Incan Empire, a hub of culture, commerce, and religion, and now it’s one of the busiest hubs for tourism in the world. This city is the gateway to Machu Picchu, one of the oldest sites for ruins from the Incan Empire. 

Join us for a time of adventure, challenge, and service as you experience the wonder of Peru.
