Volunteer
We support various community projects in South America, many of which offer volunteer programmes.
We believe tourism should make a positive impact in the communities and landscapes where we work.
Andean Trails is proactive in supporting several NGOs and charities based in the UK and in our destination countries.
At least a basic knowledge of Spanish is preferred if you wish to volunteer at a project and you can learn Spanish in South America before visiting a project.
Volunteering can be undertaken on a short or long term basis. Please see the projects below for further details, or please contact us if you need more information.

Testimonials
Alexandra and Daniel, Tailor-made Ecuador, Galapagos and Colombia, July 2024 Kat provided us with the most amazing holiday to Ecuador, the Galapagos and Colombia. She planned it to meet every single need and want we expressed as well as more! The time and effort she went to make the trip as smooth and easy was incredible! We felt totally looked after both by her before the trip as well as during the trip with all the guides and timings of everything that she had arranged. We chose Andean trails as they were the most accommodating, organized and efficient in their communication and coming up with an itinerary with matched 100 % with what we wanted. The tour guides/ drivers both in Ecuador and Colombia were exceptional and every tour arranged in all three destinations was perfect. The whole planning of the trip ran without a single flaw. The dream holiday! Thanks so much Kat!
M. Boerman, Galapagos Land-based tour, May 2024 We loved the wildlife - learning about Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands during the planning of this trip did not prepare me for really being able to see so much diversity in the ecosystems. All the locals we interacted with were very welcoming and friendly. The food was fabulous and hotels were beautifully located and well maintained. We chose Andean Trails because I Googled “eco travel to Galapagos Islands” and Andean Trails came up as one with the best reviews. Kat, I know I have said thank you but really THANK YOU, your attention to details and fine tuning of our trip were wonderful! You were a pleasure to work with for so many years and you gave us the best vacation we could have asked for. Like most of our tour guides they can't guarantee what we will see or experience but I think we checked off all our boxes with this vacation. >> Galapagos Land Based Tour 2024
