South America Volunteering as part of a Round the World Trip

Would you like to give something back while travelling in South America?

Take one of our volunteering trips and you’ll work on locally run projects that benefit local communities and the environments in which they live.

You’ll become part of the local community and have the kind of authentic cultural experiences that backpackers and package tourists daren’t even dream about. You’ll meet friends and travel buddies that will stay with you for the rest of your life and you’ll have time free to travel and head out on your own adventures.

Pick a country to get started:
	Despite the hotels and pleasure palaces of cities like Rio, Brazil is a poor country and many of its people struggle to get by. Volunteering in Brazil shows you a different side to the country, one of favelas, high unemployment and low access to opportunity. If you choose to volunteer in Brazil, you can make a real and lasting difference to the lives of people living in poverty.
	Volunteering in Peru is perfect for those who want to make a difference. Even before a recent earthquake ripped through Peru, life for many here was hard. Volunteer in Peru and you will work alongside dedicated people who have become used to showing resilience in the face of adversity ever since the Spanish turned up unannounced a few hundred years ago!
	When you volunteer in Argentina you’ll see for yourself the effects of the financial crisis which has hit the country in recent years. With charitable organisations feeling the pinch, volunteering in Argentina has never been more important than it is now. Despite its problems Argentina remains one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in the world.
	Bolivia is South America’s poorest country, so volunteer work here is both valuable and rewarding. There are many opportunities to get involved with projects to aid vulnerable children, from art and activities to feeding and caring.
	Given its wide variety of wildlife and fit-to-burst cities there is a huge scope for volunteering in Ecuador; the stunning habitats are under threat and too many of its population live in poverty. Your time and effort as a volunteer in Ecuador will make a lasting difference while you enjoy a diverse and fascinating country.
