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.

"Everything went together seamlessly. The accommodations that I had were very nice, clean, and good locations. "Transfers worked great. Argentina worked out fine and found people to hike with. "Chile was perfect as well, but the guide was the one who made the trip. And, of course, Easter Island again was fantastic. "Thank you for all your hard work. It paid off. I am a very happy customer."

"We loved being able to explore on our own but also appreciated the support and security of Andean Trails' local contacts. "We were well looked after, which allowed us to enjoy everything to the max, knowing the logistics were all sorted and organised. "It was a great trip; we were never stressed, the guides were excellent, and it all worked well. "There was fantastic support and planning throughout. The highlights were Iguazu, dancing tango at a milonga in Buenos Aires, the Paine W, and a viewpoint over Chalten from behind the town."
