Peru Volunteer Trip
November/ December 2026

Join DZS in Peru to plant fruit trees that restore forests and feed communities.

$1950 | Dates Coming Soon!

Where Trees Mean More Than Shade

Every tree planted on this trip starts the same way: as a seed, raised by a local agronomist in Iquitos. By the time you arrive, it’s ready to move. You’ll carry it into the hands of the family that will plant it on their land.

These aren’t ornamental trees. They’re breadfruit. Star apple. Mango. Citrus. Grown not just to reforest land, but to feed children, create income and restore balance to ecosystems once cleared for farming.

And yes, you’ll get muddy.

Why It Matters

Since 2010, DZS and CONAPAC have planted more than 46,000 fruit trees in these communities. When those trees thrive, families eat better. Children go to school with fruit in their bags. Extra produce is sold at the market.

This trip supports that system.

Space is Limited

These trips are small by design, and spots fill fast.

If you want to go, we encourage you to fill out the interest form early.

Express Interest

You don’t need experience. You just need to be present.
