Attention horse lovers! If you love horses and ponies, enjoy working with people, if you fancy sunny weather and are not afraid of physical work, then we have the ideal farm stay for you!

We used the Corona-related break in Chile diligently in order to have many wonderful new farm stay offers available for the time afterwards. As soon as the borders open, you now have a lot more choice between the small north of Chile and the deepest Patagonia.

The volunteer work in the animal shelter in Quito starts right there: The volunteers are placed in a national NGO that works for animal welfare and environmental protection in general, and abandoned pets in particular.

As soon as the borders are easily passable again for international travelers, you will have endless possibilities in this long, breathtaking country. We at South America Inside have used the time and added great new working holiday places to our offer.

In our volunteer project, volunteers, medical students, nurses or interns (nursing internship) are placed in public hospitals in Quito. Above all, people who cannot afford private health care are treated here. Even people who have no health insurance at all receive free medical care there.

In this volunteer project you will get out of your comfort zone, you will look outside the box, get to know another culture, and above all, experience first hand the hard reality of life of disadvantaged people. Our volunteer project takes place in a non-profit psychotherapeutic clinic.

Fancy the beach, sun, salt in your hair, nice people, a workplace with a sea view and that pure holiday feeling? A working holiday in a hostel in Pichilemu is exactly that: the perfect mix of “working” and “holiday”.

Hiking in the cloud forest, swimming under the waterfall, the sound of countless animal voices in your ears, making your own cocoa from tree to cup, growing your own food and getting to know the way of life of the locals.

In 30 years of work on the Pacific coast of Ecuador, the two have built a 10-hectare organic farm with an eco-tourism project, which is so much more than just that:
Here you will find a unique ecological space in which people do not exploit nature, but observe it very closely and live according to its rules – this approach is called permaculture.

We are happy to announce that we are now able to offer medical internships abroad for medical students or health care students.

With a medical internship abroad you kill quite a few birds with one stone.
