Lake Titicaca is the largest lake in South America by volume and surface area, straddling the border between Peru and Bolivia high in the Andes Mountains. Sitting at over 3,800 meters (12,500 feet) above sea level, it is often considered the highest navigable lake in the world. The lake is steeped in Andean mythology and is believed by the Inca to be the birthplace of their civilization. Its deep blue waters are dotted with islands, including the famous Uros floating islands made of totora reeds, and Taquile and Amantaní islands, where indigenous communities maintain traditional ways of life, offering visitors a glimpse into pre-Columbian culture.
Family Project Peru 2026
Overview
Maranatha offers at least two family projects each year that provide service opportunities for every member of your family, both young and old. In 2026, spend part of your summer break in Peru!
Maranatha has selected Juliaca as the place for the June 18-28, 2026 Family Project. Peru has a great variety of ecological systems, from the Pacific Ocean coastline to the Andes Mountains. Peru also has desert and jungle regions, with the world’s largest river—the Amazon, which starts in Peru and goes all the way through Brazil before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean.
This upcoming project will be located at an altitude of 12,500ft near Lake Titicaca. Volunteers will build a multi-classroom building for the Colegio Adventista Titicaca in Juliaca, Peru.

Day Camp For Our Volunteers Ages 12 and Younger
Maranatha’s Family Projects are designed to be family-friendly and accommodate volunteers of any age. One unique feature of a Family Project is a “Day Camp” for children ages 12 and under. Children under five must have a parent with them at all times. Parents with kids ages 5-12 have three options and can vary their decision day by day.
- Have your child join the Day Camp and stay to help with the activities of the day.
- Drop your child off at the Day Camp for the day while you join other areas of the project.
- Keep your child with you on your work crew throughout the day.
