Make a lasting impact through service projects with indigenous communities in Ecuador while exploring diverse ecosystems, embracing vibrant cultures, and connecting with the country’s deep-rooted traditions.
Get ready for an unforgettable journey of service, cultural immersion, and adventure in Ecuador! Partner with the Quichua and Kichwa communities to experience life through their eyes—helping with local farming, cooking, and craft-making while learning about traditional music, dance, and the vital role of Pachamama, or Mother Earth. Volunteer in Quito, where you'll assist in local schools and explore the vibrant Old Town. Venture into the breathtaking landscapes of Cotopaxi National Park, the Amazon rainforest, and the iconic Swing at the End of the World. From hands-on experiences like making chocolate from cacao to witnessing the traditions of indigenous women at Sinchi Warmi, this trip offers a perfect blend of giving back and embracing the natural and cultural beauty of Ecuador. With each day bringing a new adventure, you'll leave with lasting memories and a deeper connection to the people and places you've encountered.
