Peru ( fall ) 2026

Contamana • Remote Amazon Villages

Trip Length

10 Days: September 2026 (TBD) - $1300 + Airfare

This fall, we’ll serve alongside Chuck King and Frontier Harvest Ministries in Peru, engaging in gospel-centered outreach and hands-on ministry in the Amazon region. Following our time of service, we plan to conclude the trip with a cultural experience at Machu Picchu—an added opportunity for reflection after a mission-first journey.

What You’ll EXperience

Peru is one of Lastleaf’s most adventurous and perspective-shaping trips. You’ll travel by boat into remote Amazon villages, meet welcoming indigenous communities, and experience ministry in areas few teams ever reach.

Your days will be filled with sharing the gospel, holding children’s programs, bringing clean water, and joining worship gatherings in places hungry for hope. There is nothing quite like serving Jesus deep in the Amazon—surrounded by beauty, simplicity, and God’s unmistakable presence.
