We are excited to share our opportunity to visit our ministry partners in Cuzco Perú. This is a first for Eastside Global Compassion!  This primary care medical team will assist the local church in its mission to provide holistic healing to the community through wellness checks and physicals. We'll serve alongside the general Peru team that will be ministering in a variety of ways. Cuzco is a city in the Andes and was once the capital of the Inca Empire. It is now known for its archaeological remains and Spanish colonial architecture. The Plaza de Armas is the central square in the old city, with arcades, carved wooden balconies and Incan wall ruins.  We will be involved in evangelistic outreach utilizing a theatrical mime drama. The people of Peru are warm, inviting, and full of life.  At the end of the trip, we will have two additional days of fun exploring Machu Pichu. Machu Pichu is a magnificent ruined Incan city and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Cuzco has an elevation of 11,152 feet. There is lots of walking and lots of stairs at HIGH ELEVATION. If there is any question regarding your physical health, please get the okay from your doctor before moving too far along in the process.
