Chile is a wisp of a country with an awe-inspiring wilderness, sophisticated city life, and a riveting political history not too far from people's memories or experiences.

A land of extreme economies and ecologies you will find the world's driest desert at San Pedro de Atacama, atmospheric fjords in the south, towering glaciers, turquoise blue Pacific Ocean, and a snowy gaze from soaring Andean peaks.

Enjoy outdoor adventures, the strong bonds of Chilean family life and volunteer to make a difference.

We have teamed with Volunteer for International Partnership (VIP)to offer you a rewarding and enrichingvolunteerexperience in Chile. Click here to read about the projects, orientation, homestay, language courses, fees and much more.
