Ecuador

Make a difference from heart of the Amazon Jungle by teaching English and other subjects to local children – vital if they want a job in the future. Help preserve the traditional values of Ecuadorian tribes too.

Volunteer in the Amazon and help with the day-to-day care and rehabilitation of animals that have been abused or injured. These might include monkeys, jaguars, lions, parrots and other native species.

Trek in the Andes, surf on the coast, learn Spanish, go fruit-tasting, make your own chocolate, go canoeing, kayaking and rafting, visit the Inca ruins, practise salsa dancing and volunteer on the Galapagos Islands – leaving might be hard!

Experience Ecuador through Spanish lessons, cooking classes, trips around Quito, community and conservation projects in the Andes and the Amazon, horseback rides, sunbathing on the beaches, surfing, scuba diving, a night forest walk and lots more!

The exotic creatures that inhabit the waters of Ecuador’s underwater world need protecting as marine resources are increasingly becoming under pressure from the fishing industry. Plunge deep into the waters and identify vulnerability within the presence of species to help preserve this marine environment for generations to come.

Join this tour and experience a 6,000km overland adventure! Starting in Ecuador's mountain capital city of Quito, we travel through the Amazon jungle, down the Pan American Highway to Lima and finish in La Paz, the world's highest city.

Learn one of the most rhythmic languages in the world and experience the culture of some of the friendliest people on earth! One-to-one teaching and activities such as salsa lessons make for progreso rápido.

Help give children in Quito a better future by working with them on the streets or in a special summer school. Your work improving parent-child relationships or planning activities will make a difference.
