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.

The whole trip was just incredible; the planned itinerary went smoothly, everything was perfectly organised and I could not think of any better way to have visited this beautiful country. The cruise on Galapagos Islands obviously was the highlight. Lost in paradise!
The accommodation/food/guides on Coral 1 were amazing! The crew was super nice and we had a lot of fun! The guides had great knowledge to share and the itinerary was super exciting and interesting. During my time on the cruise I talked a lot to the crew members that were all locals working for the conservation of the Islands, I got great insights on the people and culture of the country.
I am super happy to have chosen Andean Trails for my trip and so grateful for the help of Kat, she gave me great recommendation and helped me in the best possible way with the planning of my trip.

We had a brilliant time , we loved it and managed all the mountain climbing! Our group was fantastic and also the guides . We celebrated our wedding anniversary and both our birthdays - they managed to arrange cakes for our birthdays and we had such great laughs with everybody.
