Hi everyone! I am looking into traveling to Peru with a volunteer program for 1-2 months and I'm hoping someone out there has done it before. I would love to do a homestay, where I live with a local family while I am there. I have found one program that says they can work with the family ahead of time and make sure I have access to the kitchen. Another program said they could set me up in an apartment so I could make my own meals. Has anyone had any experience like this? I'm a little nervous about doing the homestay, for obvious reasons, but from what I understand, the Peruvian diet is largely gluten-free, so it may not be that difficult to accomodate our diet. Any help you might have is MUCH appreciated!
