BRASIL

Why volunteer and do work exchanges in Brazil Volunteering in Brazil is a great opportunity to get to know the largest country in South America and one of the largest in the world. This beautiful nation has countless regions with a lot of biodiversity and multiculturalism that gives you the chance to get to know different customs, accents, landscapes and the best volunteer projects.
By joining a volunteer or work exchange program in Brazil you have the opportunity to learn Portuguese through cultural immersion. Learning Portuguese will improve your chances of entering the job market and enrich your social relationships with the locals.
Language classes are one of the favorite benefits of Worldpackers hosts and there are more than 50 cities where you can volunteer in Brazil and enjoy this extra benefit. A volunteer in Belo Horizonte, a volunteer in Ubatuba or perhaps an exchange in Rio de Janeiro are just some of the cities where you can go and volunteer to learn Portuguese in Brazil.
In addition to the incredible amount of money you can save by doing this type of volunteering and work exchange in Brazil, you can take this opportunity as a professional course. Among the tasks you can learn are administration and reception, web programming through an IT volunteer in Brazil and even event organization by volunteering as a party promoter.
The best thing about volunteering or doing a work exchange in Brazil is the possibility you have to shape your professional destiny, discovering your own abilities that will surprise you. Other skills you can develop while you travel cheaply in Brazil are: Photography Gardening Self-sustaining construction Permaculture Audiovisual production Tourist guide Language teacher Sports teacher One of the favorite social projects of travelers is the Escolinha Itacoatiara, a beautiful project that has changed the lives of so many children without access to education or who live in underprivileged areas. This project has already changed the lives not only of many children, but of more than 30 travelers from around the world who have gone to contribute their grain of sand to this society.
In addition to traveling cheaply in Brazil and meeting incredible places and people, a volunteer trip abroad is a very productive practice for personal and professional growth.
Types of volunteering and work exchanges in Brazil
Work exchanges in Brazil: As the name suggests, in a work exchange you collaborate on projects in exchange for benefits such as lodging, meals, and more.
Work exchanges, like volunteering, are for a maximum of 32 hours a week. These work exchanges in Brazil are generally related to projects and businesses in the hospitality area such as hostels, hotels, inns, guest houses, and eco-lodges.
Did’s Hostal is one of the coolest hostels in greater Sao Paulo and is located about a 10-minute walk from the iconic Avenida Paulista. In addition to the most comfortable beds in the entire city and basic benefits such as lodging and food, Did’s hosts offer a space that will make you feel at home. “Great people, super welcoming place, although its naturalness is calm, it is still dynamic, a place that I highly recommend for its location and youthful infrastructure,” are part of the words of volunteer Luis Ernesto
Social impact volunteering in Brazil: Volunteering in Brazil works the same as work exchanges. In this case, the difference would be that instead of working for businesses or projects in the hotel industry, your hosts would belong to NGOs, schools and communities that carry out social work or community work.
Positively impacting society is something that the hosts of Fazenda ARCAH take very seriously. This beautiful project aims to reintegrate homeless people living on the streets of Sao Paulo into society. Their work focuses on community life for three years, with activities based on permacultural principles and techniques, stimulating the rescue of human roles in the ecosystem.
Volunteering in ecological projects in Brazil: Volunteering in ecological projects in Brazil has as its main intention the exchange of self-sustaining and protectionist skills that often involve alternative pedagogical and nutritional regimes as part of the experience.
Cati-Porã is a very beautiful farm in a field in Rio de Janeiro, Saquarema. It has 3 acres of Atlantic forest in this prodigious city of nature that has forest, beach and lagoon.
This volunteering experience in Brazil will put you in contact with learning techniques of bioconstruction, permaculture and many other techniques related to the creation of self-sustaining spaces and communities.
When contacting a host, it is important that your profile shows as much personal information as possible such as interests, goals, skills and photos of previous trips or your favorite places in the city where you live.
In addition to this valuable information, when applying you will have to be


Send a kind of cover letter where you tell
What are your intentions in the place
Why you liked the vacancy
How you can collaborate
What you would like to learn from the experience
Answering these questions will also be important for yourself, so you will have a better focus and objectives beyond just traveling cheaply in Brazil.
Some of the best characteristics that can help you find work in Brazil or wherever you go, is to look for vacancies that are as similar to you as possible. For example, if you have some experience in the kitchen area, it is something you master well or you know you can do it wonderfully, probably volunteering as a kitchen assistant in Brazil will help you for future experiences in the work area.

Volunteering and work exchanges in Brazil will change your life
A volunteer or work exchange experience in Brazil promises to be a transformative experience. Beyond the possibility of traveling cheaply in Brazil and getting to know the best destinations in the world, being part of the group of volunteers is like opening a large window to deeply cultural and significant stories.
Whether it's a work exchange hostel in Sao Paulo or a permaculture project with a volunteer in Rio de Janeiro, being part of a group of volunteers in a local project will allow you to experience different realities from the hands of its residents, getting to know their favorite places and changing the lives of many people along the way, as well as your own.

COLOMBIA

Volunteering in Colombia is one of those experiences that every traveler should have at least once in their life. Thanks to its location and its borders with the Caribbean Sea, Colombia boasts some of the best beach resorts with tropical climates. By volunteering in Montería or joining a volunteer program in Riohacha you can enjoy the Caribbean Sea as well as on a trip to Barranquilla, Cartagena de Indias or Santa Marta. Colombia is also one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity in the world, being able to see almost any type of landscape on its land.
Volunteering in Colombia offers you incredible benefits and will save you almost all or 100% of the conventional expenses of a trip of this type. In addition to accommodation, by exchanging a few hours of work a day you will receive additional benefits.
A work and travel experience in Colombia will make you meet the coolest people in the region with the opportunity to create multi-trip routes so that you can visit several destinations during your visit to this beautiful country. In addition to the super-known destinations such as volunteer experiences in Bogotá, exchanges in Barranquilla and volunteer programs in Medellín, there are other beautiful destinations with incredible projects so that you can do your international volunteering in Colombia. Doing an environmental volunteering in El Carmen de Chucuri, volunteering in Facatativá, volunteering in Guatapé or doing an exchange in Salento are just some of those magical destinations where you could collaborate with so many activities that are available for volunteers, exchange students and backpackers from all over the world.


Colombia is one of the American countries that offers the most opportunities and vacancies for international volunteering, ideal for those people who want to learn a new skill such as traditional Colombian cuisine, hospitality, audiovisual production, among many other skills that you could acquire by being part of the team of volunteers in hundreds of hostels, hotels, inns and guest houses that today require cooperation to carry out projects with the most transformative and significant experiences.
Why should you volunteer and do work and travel in Colombia?
Doing a Work and Travel in Colombia can take you to witness one of the largest migratory movements of humpback whales in the world that occurs during the polar winter, from July to November. You can see this beautiful spectacle of nature face to face while volunteering in Bahía Solano or doing an exchange in Acandí, since these cities have beautiful Pacific coasts from where you can see these gigantic humpback whales that will make you feel the greatness of this world. By volunteering in Colombia with hosts like those at EcoLodge El Almejal, a beautiful Eco-lodge in the middle of the jungle and the Pacific Ocean, you can enjoy the best benefits while living a truly paradise-like vacation, recharging your batteries in front of the waters of Playa El Almejal del Valle.
Another great idea is to do international volunteering in Colombia, learning about the cultivation and harvesting of coffee or cocoa in one of the most recognized countries worldwide for the production of these delicious products. Finca Artesanal Santa Marta is a volunteer experience in La Cumbre where you learn to fertilize, harvest, select, pulp, wash, and dry artisanal coffee while helping with projects and enjoying beautiful landscapes.
With these hosts you can taste many cups of coffee threshed, roasted, ground and prepared by yourself. In addition, your hosts give you more than 200 grams of the best coffee so that you can take it with you to your next destinations or remember such a nice experience back home.
“I spent 2 incredible weeks on a beautiful farm with 10 dogs, in a very quiet place where they made me feel like part of their family. I learned a lot about coffee, some crops and many other things that I will take with me for life. My hosts are excellent people and I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a quiet place with a very different life from the city,” says Ignacio, who traveled from Argentina for this incredible environmental volunteering experience in Colombia.
A Work and Travel experience in Colombia is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to get to know the best contrasts of this continent. And when talking about contrasts, you cannot miss the chance to do an exchange or volunteer in Colombian La Guajira, the territory that, together with Venezuelan La Guajira, is home to the Wayuu indigenous community.


La Guajira is one of the least explored territories in Colombia and in this spectacular place the Caribbean Sea meets the desert, the Sierra Nevada and the last Andean corner of Colombia, that is, beach, desert, snow and mountains in one place. Volunteering in La Guajira with Worldpackers is ideal for travelers who want to know the most different and unique realities of this region, having the opportunity to know the Wayuu culture in its greatest splendor and participate in volunteer projects that allow to give continuity to this ancestral culture that today can see light thanks to the contribution of NGOs and communities that dedicate their efforts to such beautiful work.
Where to volunteer to work in Colombia?
Volunteering in Colombia with Worldpackers means that you can travel throughout the Colombian territory, being able to enjoy both the Caribbean Atlantic by perhaps volunteering in Santa Marta, and the Pacific, perhaps joining a volunteer program in Cali. Colombia is the only country in South America that has coasts on both oceans. Volunteering to work in Colombia is an excellent idea for digital nomads and those travelers who want to enter the world of remote jobs. Nothing better for those people who want to start traveling the world while working than exchanging skills that allow you to develop knowledge and experience in the most in-demand areas of this web era, doing an IT volunteer in Colombia as an exchange in Satatausa, developing web pages while enjoying the best landscapes of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense.
Another of the highly demanded areas in this new era is digital marketing, so exchanging your social media skills and other skills in the area by volunteering in Digital Marketing in Colombia is another experience that will increase your future opportunities in different destinations.
Volunteering in Isleta, one of the 28 islands that make up the beautiful Rosario archipelago, can make you believe that you are in a dream. Wake up in a private room surrounded by the richest ocean waters in the Caribbean while living in the beautiful Hotel Isla Tijereto, where you can help by doing things like greeting guests, recommending places to visit, opening a bar with drinks at sunset, playing some music and, of course, making them feel at home. In exchange for your valuable collaboration, your hosts, in addition to opening their doors and offering you lodging, would take care of your food and other benefits such as discounts on drinks and days off from your work so you can dedicate yourself to getting to know the archipelago better by boat or simply swimming in the sea.
This is what it would be like to volunteer in Cartagena with hosts, promoting collaborative tourism, friendlier personal relationships and authentic travel experiences that allow travelers to deeply connect with the places they visit and remember their volunteering like Laura and the other travelers who have left their 5 stars to this volunteering in Colombia. “I had a wonderful time, I felt at home. The place is beautiful and the people in charge are very nice. It is a great option to disconnect from the routine. The tasks are basic, it was nice to help with the language.”

Knowing where to volunteer internationally in Colombia will also depend on the goals and objectives you want to achieve during this experience. There are 3 types of volunteering that you can join with hosts who believe in traveling as a unique and genuine way to learn about yourself and the world around you.
Work exchanges in Colombia
This type of international volunteering in Colombia connects world travelers with hosts in the hospitality industry and other types of lodgings such as hostels, inns, family homes, and guest houses. In these volunteering opportunities you can exchange skills in areas such as general services, tasks typical of a lodging such as reception, and also various professional services that the hosts require such as creating a website, recording videos of the place, writing content for their social networks, among others. Doing a work exchange in Santa Marta or an exchange in Guatapé are some of the favorite experiences of our community of world travelers who love contact with paradisiacal nature and the contrast with the urban world.
Ecological projects and environmental volunteering in Colombia
As the name suggests, this type of Work And Travel experience in Colombia connects environmental projects and ecological hosts in Colombia who receive volunteers to help them with tasks related to the recovery, protection and care of the environment, local fauna and flora. In addition to the development and transformation of conventional economic activities into ecological activities that reduce the impact of society on ecosystems through practices such as permaculture, bioconstruction and responsible agriculture.
The hosts of these projects will welcome you in their farms, ranches, ecovillages or holistic centers. “My experience in the cocoa forest was very good, Miguel and his family welcomed us with great affection and made us have an incredible stay. We learned a lot about cocoa and the entire transformation process to chocolate, and I have to say that it is one of the best chocolates I have ever tasted in my life. In addition, the place is beautiful, very quiet, in the heart of the jungle mountains of Santander.” This is how Aurelie describes her volunteer experience in El Carmen de Chucurí on a cocoa and chocolate farm in the Colombian Andes.
Social Impact Volunteering in Colombia
When we talk about volunteer experiences that change everyone's lives, we must talk about social impact volunteering in Colombia. They are designed to connect NGOs, schools, communities and other types of foundations with international volunteers to work together doing work related to social works such as education in rural communities or for vulnerable social groups, child care, animal rescue, audiovisual documentation of these projects, among others. Volunteering in Chinchina and volunteering in Facatativá are an excellent option for all travelers who want to get to know Colombian culture from within while positively impacting its people as travelers from all over the world have done, who surely take home memories like those Melanie took home. “My experience at the Anawin Foundation was unforgettable. It is shared with young people and children who welcome you with open arms and want to hear what you have to teach. You can experience true Colombian culture from within, from close by. The foundation is a family that adopts you and makes you one of them. Pedro and his volunteers do an excellent job of being welcoming, teaching culture, history and reflecting true camaraderie, making the foundation something you want to be a part of.”
Costs and tips for your exchange or volunteering in Colombia
To talk about the costs of an exchange or volunteering in Colombia with Worldpackers, it is essential that you know that when making a trip, whether it is a backpacking trip, an exchange trip or an international volunteering, the main expenses at the destination are lodging, food, transportation, access to places of interest, tours and entertainment.
Knowing that by living a Work and Travel experience in Colombia with Worldpackers you would have at least the lodging covered and in many cases all the other benefits, you should make your budget based on:
Tickets to the destination: These can be plane tickets or if you are in a country neighboring Colombia you could also arrive on some of the international bus routes available. It is advisable to use cheap flight search engines such as Skyscanner that give you greater economic freedom when planning your trip and if you are a resident of a MERCOSUR country, you do not need to buy a return ticket at the time of entry, being able to travel from Colombia to another destination that arises during your trip.
Documents: If you are from a MERCOSUR country, you can travel to Colombia with your ID or a valid passport. Residents of most countries in America and Europe do not need a tourist visa to enter the Caribbean country, so if you are reading this you probably do not have to spend money on documentation such as visas. Find out if you will need it where you are residing or due to your nationality. Transportation: Whether intercity or within the city, this is a common expense that you should take into account for your budget. When volunteering in Colombia with Worldpackers hosts, many of them have bicycles at your disposal so you can get around nearby places you want to visit or simply tour the city, as is the case with one of the favorite hosts for volunteering in Bogotá, Hostal R10, located right in the heart of La Candelaria, the most cultural neighborhood in the city. Many times, due to the very nature of the experience, such as some environmental volunteering in Colombia in places like eco-lodges or eco-lodges, which are inns in places within nature, the hosts will offer you transportation from the airport, as would be the case if you volunteer in Tunja, helping the friends of Cultura Nomade, an NGO with an educational, social, cultural and pedagogical focus. Remember that it is important to fine-tune all these details of the transfer in advance.
Access to attractions and sites of interest: It is very common that when we are going to travel to a country that we want to visit, we already have some places in mind to visit. However, many times these places are not free and it is something that we do not foresee in advance. This is the case of the entrance to Cerro Monserrate, for those interested in volunteering in Bogotá. Make a list of the places you want to visit during your international volunteering in Colombia or your backpacking trip and see if there are any fees that you should add to your budget.
Miscellaneous expenses: These include those expenses that are not considered essential but are common when traveling for tourism or volunteering internationally. Souvenirs, outings and walks, street food, among others. Taking a look at local prices before traveling is a good idea so that you have an idea of ??how much things cost.
Personal items: Depending on the type of host that is hosting you, some personal hygiene items such as shampoo and bath soap may or may not be included. Also, items such as deodorant, toothpaste, and toilet paper are things that you should probably add to your list of personal expenses during your stay or tour. Or perhaps one of the environmental volunteering programs in Colombia will give you skills to make these products in a healthier and more economical way, you never know.

“Work is not work because you enjoy it, the meals are very rich and abundant and the pets accompany you on all the trails,” creatively summarizes volunteer Martín.
