Trip Details

Communities

Costa Rica
The southeast region of Talamanca is home to the Bribri and Cabecar people and is the least developed region of Costa Rica. Through the beliefs and customs of their ancestors, the indigenous people have maintained a respectful relationship with their natural environment. Embrace local life in the villages as you learn from people who live in one of the most captivating, beautiful places in the world.
Cuba
Just a few hours outside the iconic city of Havana is a small town where residents are eager to connect with international guests. Those who travel here have the rare opportunity to visit a country many have only dreamed of exploring while experiencing life and hands-on ministry with Christians in Cuba.
Peru
Lima, Peru is a city of resilience. Its people, a vibrant mix of indigenous cultures and those with European and Asian heritage, create a unique energy together. While limited opportunities and poverty are a struggle for some residents, the people of Lima are known for their warmth and entrepreneurial spirit, evident in the bustling markets and innovative street food scene. This human connection is a cornerstone of life in Lima.
