Argentina & Chile

In Argentina you can travel from the absolute purity of the southern peaks, rivers, forests and ice fields to the sophistication of cosmopolitan Buenos Aires. Chile has three distinct regions: the arid Atacama Desert and Altiplano in the north; fertile valleys in the centre, the focal point of political and cultural life; and the famous Lake Region in the south, still called "The frontier".

Volunteer Chile & Argentina

You will begin your trip looking at the stunning, snowcapped Andes mountains which make up the backdrop for Santiago, the capital of Chile. From here you will head north to participate in a volunteer project helping a local indigenous community in the driest desert in the world, the Atacama Desert. After exploring this spectacular location which includes salt flats, geysers and lagoons, you will head across to Northern Argentina, and eventually finish your trip learning Tango and eating steak in Buenos Aires, the vibrant capital of Argentina.
