Paseo de los Cañaris y Viracochabamba. The community in which we host the volunteers offers English courses, for this reason there is a very good cultural exchange between visitors and students, not only within the institution but also in activities of different kinds for a better experience with the volunteers. . Volunteers will be able to easily visit all tourist places such as: the historic center, churches, Mirador de Turi, parks, sports areas, gym, parks and nature reserves, etc. As for my role as host, the vision is to provide the volunteer a unique experience and above all grant total freedom so that the volunteer can enjoy their stay to the fullest and recommend our center
