LATIN AMERICA

#1 Because the local conditions are perfect for it.

The friendliness and helpfulness of Latin Americans, a good network of public transportation and the abundance of great and interesting employers make Latin America the destination for a successful work and travel adventure. However, a work and travel trip there cannot be compared to one to Australia, New Zealand or Canada. You are moving in different cultures, and you notice that at every corner. But that’s the beauty and exactly the reason why we love this region so much. Because it is the many differences that make it special and open the door to unique experiences. Since Work & Travel in Latin America is not yet common, it is important to plan sufficiently in advance. This is exactly what we want to support you with and provide you with everything you need for a smooth adventure on the most beautiful continent in the world.

#2 Because there is so much to discover

Latin America is unique and diverse, especially in terms of the different countries, landscapes and cultures. Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Chile and Argentina together have less land area than Australia. This means: see more, discover more! Each country brings with it an exciting, unique culture that is often very different from the German one. The countries of Latin America are wonderful to travel through by public transportation, especially by bus. Flights with Latin American airlines are also often very inexpensive. If you want international diversity, you will be incredibly happy with a Work & Travel in Latin America.

#3 Because you don’t have to choose one program, you can combine them as you like.

You feel like participating in a volunteer project, but also want to live life as a bartender in a hostel and get your hands dirty on a farm? No problem! You don’t have to choose just one job. Our programs can be combined in any way you like. Through our building block system you can choose in advance how long you want to participate in which project. Of course, you don’t have to commit to one country. You decide how long you want to stay in which country and which countries you want to explore during your travel time. Of course, we will assist you in the planning and selection of your programs as well as on-site with advice and action and provide you with insider tips, travel routes and all the information you need.

#4 Because you are not following in the footsteps of 1000 other Work & Travellers.

Latin America is just perfect for a Work & Travel adventure, because the conditions are ideal. And yet the continent is not known for it, on the contrary. If you ask around in your circle of friends, they talk more often about Australia, New Zealand or Asia, only rarely about our favorite continent. But this is only an advantage for you! The countries are not yet overcrowded, and you do not walk on the paths that many others have already trampled flat before you. You dare to do something new and special, you have more exciting stories to tell that you haven’t already heard at every corner.

#5 Because you will get to know a new culture.

Latin America, especially compared to countries like Australia, is simply different from Germany, and that’s what makes it different. Whether it’s language, music, dance, sports, politics or food – the clocks tick differently in Latin America and it’s just wonderful. Latin America is also rich in ethnicities and religions. The charm of this continent is shaped by its more than 600 million inhabitants, a gathering place of the world’s cultures! Immerse yourself and become part of it. Soon you will no longer feel like a tourist, but like a local. Feel free to check out this blog article about it.

#6 Because you will learn Spanish during your adventure.

Being fluent in English is nothing special these days, it’s probably more of a basic requirement. Incredibly popular with many employers, however, is another world language: Spanish, with more than 400 million native speakers. And the nice thing is – when traveling in Latin America, you actually learn to speak. Because very few people there speak an English that is sufficient for communication. Don’t worry, hands and feet help in the beginning, and more Spanish vocabulary is added every day.

#7 Because it is inexpensive to travel to, unlike other work and travel countries.

Traveling Latin America is not only gorgeous, but also unbeatable cheap, especially compared to other work and travel countries. For a day of super delicious local food and drinks at the bars, travel costs (cab, Uber, intercity buses, etc.), accommodation, and a tour or two, you won’t spend more overall than a night in a crowded hostel on the outskirts of Sydney. With a budget of 800 euros (per month in the travel season) you can travel in Latin America excellently and have a great time. Low budget is also possible for 600 euros. And you don’t even have to give up comfort, good food, parties and adventure.

#8 Because the quality of the jobs is excellent

From other Work & Travel regions you know the work only as mass processing of backpackers willing to work as a legal money printing machine for owners. In Latin America, there are quality, decent jobs that often pay not in money, but in room and board. No 12-hour days, no exploitation. Appreciative employers with whom one can also develop a personal bond. Tasks that help one in personal development, where one gets to know many new people and locals. If you decide to volunteer here, you are also doing something good and helping where help is urgently needed. We have personally convinced ourselves of the quality of the jobs and stand wholeheartedly behind our programs.

#9 Because the Latin American mentality is hard to beat in terms of warmth and joie de vivre.

We love trips where you discover new things, meet a new culture and, above all, lots of interesting people. And we speak from experience when we promise that in Latin America you will find exactly that. Here you will be welcomed by the locals with open arms! They are curious and interested, warm and hospitable. The attitude towards life in these countries is characterized by traditions, good humor, positive vibes and joie de vivre, and you won’t find this anywhere else in the world. Once you meet the right people, you’ll have the best time and the most fun of your life there – that’s for sure.

#10 Because you don’t need a visa

Quite unlike most countries in the world that are known for work and travel, in Latin America you don’t have to apply for a visa and you don’t have to meet any other strict requirements. Not even if you want to work there in a hostel, on a farm or in a project. This makes everything easier and more relaxed. Of course, you will get more detailed entry information from us.
