Depending on your medical experience and Spanish language skills you may be asked to assist with various procedures such as delivering babies, suturing wounds, and giving vaccinations. Some volunteers may also be asked to help with vaccination and public health campaigns. Placement in health projects requires notarized documentation of your medical school, nursing school, or other medical training.

Volunteers interested in joining Volunteer Health Program in Peru must possess health care certification, such as an ID as a medical student, EMT or paramedic certification, or nursing or physician's credentials. Medical volunteers without credentials are not allowed to work in this program due to the associated, potential risks. While Spanish is preferred it is not required. Rustic offers free Spanish lessons to participants volunteering in Peru

Rustic Volunteer Travel manages room/food for volunteers. Volunteers live with the host family or in hostel. We manage a separate/shared, simple, clean and modest room as well as local meals three times a day. Volunteer will also have an access to our office in Peru and mobile number of our coordinators. Our staffs also visit volunteers in each 2-4 week interval as a part of the program. Details covering living accommodations provided prior to arrival.

Medical projects are available in Cusco (Peru 's most enigmatic city and capital of Inca empire), Urubamba (The “ Pearl of the Vilcanota”, located in Peru 's lush Sacred Valley), Trujillo (home to the Floral Spring Festival, Chimu mud city of Chan Chan), Arequipa (The “ White City ”; Peru 's second largest city and home to the Misti volcano), Lima (Peru 's capital city, Lomas de Lachay, Plaza de Armas) and Huancayo (A busy commercial and tourist city in the Mantaro Valley). Known for being creative and also hard-working people, most Peruvians are great nationalists and love their country with pride (largely stemming from Peru's history as the center of both the Inca Empire and Spain's South American Empire). They are however ggenerally very friendly, peaceful and helpful. Peru is full of contrasts: from traditional culture and history to modern urban infrastructure and much of the amenities you would expect from a city.

Volunteers can organize different possible excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place the volunteer can use during weekends. For example: natural reserves, whitewater rafting, museums, historical mansions, famous ruins, volcanoes, canyons (larger than the Grand Canyon) markets, and many more.
