Enjoy a beautiful trip to Cusco, Peru while getting very familiar with the city during an enriching and insightful photojournalism volunteer/internship. This is a great opportunity to bask in the gorgeous scenery and interact with the local residents. The magazine is very interested in receiving international interns that can help with research, writing, editing, and photography. Depending on your skills and interests, you will also be able to assist with putting together the magazine and deciding what types of articles would be of most interest to tourists in Cusco. You will be working at a small travel magazine in Cusco, Peru. This is a free magazine which is distributed to hotels, restaurants and travel agencies in Cusco. The magazine is primarily for tourists and provides information on events, tours, and travel. The magazine is half in English and half in Spanish. However, the journalists only have an intermediate level of English and there are frequently grammatical and spelling errors. Therefore some of your duties will be to help with research, writing, editing, and photography.
