💼 What the programme involves
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be hosted by a local family or live within the community, providing a genuine opportunity for cultural immersion and language practice. This arrangement allows you to experience authentic Bolivian daily life firsthand. All meals will be provided by your hosts.
🍲 Food
You will have the chance to savour Cochabamba's renowned culinary scene, which is considered the gastronomic capital of Bolivia. Be sure to try local specialties like salteñas (savoury baked pastries), pique a lo macho (a hearty dish of beef, sausage, and potatoes), and fresh fruit juices from the vibrant local markets.
📍 About the location
Cochabamba, Bolivia. The project is situated in a city known for its lively atmosphere, beautiful plazas, and stunning location in a productive Andean valley.
🎒 Leisure activities
During your free time, you will have plenty of opportunities to explore Cochabamba and its surroundings. You can visit the iconic El Cristo de la Concordia statue, which offers panoramic views of the city, or wander through La Cancha, one of South America's largest open-air markets. Weekend trips can take you to Torotoro National Park, famous for its dinosaur footprints and dramatic canyons, or to the lush mountains of Tunari National Park for hiking and connecting with nature.
⚠️ Requirements
We are looking for volunteers who are creative, flexible, and passionate about alternative education and working with children. A proactive and collaborative spirit is essential. While not mandatory, basic to intermediate Spanish language skills are highly recommended to facilitate communication with students, staff, and your host family, and to fully immerse yourself in the experience.
