    Over het programma

    Especially in the winter months, Santiago de Chile is struggling with a big smog problem. This makes it all the more important that the huge hills, also known as the largest inner city park of Latin America, are maintained and reforested. Santiago needs its green lung!

    The huge inner-city park is located in the heart of Santiago de Chile and extends over several hills. The park was founded in 1917 and has since served as an important retreat in the green for the residents of Santiago de Chile. The park is also one of the main tourist attractions due to its wide range of leisure activities and magnificent viewpoints overlooking the city of Santiago de Chile and the Andes Mountains.

    The park stretches over 700 hectares and in the extensive hilly green areas and forests, visitors will not only find rich nature and environmental education, but also recreation, cultural offers and plenty of sports facilities, always in constant contact with nature. In addition to the Chilean National Zoo are other tourist attractions, such as fantastic platforms offering breathtaking views on the city and mountains, a gondola and rack railway as well as countless hiking trails, picnic areas, playgrounds, swimming pools, etc.

    The volunteers are assigned to the different "work teams". In such a large park there is really a lot to do in order to maintain the park, water the plants, reforest dry or burned areas, advising visitors and creating new areas of interest, etc. The work areas can roughly be classified as follows:

    1. Working outdoors: Maintaining the park, cutting back trees and plants, watering, and the like.
    2. Environmental Education: educate children and young people on environmental issues through practical examples and workshops.
    3. Environmental protection and reforestation: protection and restoration of biodiversity in the park, assistance in the greenhouse and maintenance work.
    4. Visitor Center: Participate in the Visitor Center at the entrance of the park, inform visitors and give instructions on how to use the park (in different languages).
    5. Standalone projects: Dedicated volunteers and those with appropriate (technical) knowledge or ideas will be encouraged to develop independent projects to improve the park and / or environmental education and / or environmental issues.


    ​​​​​​Note: The tasks may vary. They depend on factors such as number of volunteers, weather, season, current needs of the project, as well as self-motivation. Not every volunteer may be fully involved in all these tasks.

                            Working together with some of the best language schools in Latin America, South America Inside provides high quality language courses in almost every Latin American country.

                            Thanks to a professional team of motivated and friendly staff, South America Inside has been very successful over the past several years and have been able to establish an outstanding network of what we call "Insider Contacts." To enrich the experience of their clients and to provide them with more possibilities, South America Inside has been expanding our program offerings throughout Central and South America, in addition to our well-established Chilean programs.

                            Volunteer Work

                            Why with us

                            There are many persuasive reasons that speak in favor of South America Inside when it comes to selecting your perfect provider of language, study and volunteer travel abroad. Following, we have prepared a short summary so that you can get us to know a little better.

                            Our Insider benefits at a glance:

                              Regional Experience
                            Over one decade (established in 2003) of dedication to language, work and study travel programs in Latin America. Thanks to our long standing work and life experience in the South American continent, we know this region really well. Therefore, we can help and inform you in a professional and competent way.

                              Multifaceted Offers
                            Over time we have developed new programs to offer a wide array of work abroad opportunities to our clients. We have been pioneers in launching new exchange programs, as we have been the first in offering Work & Travel/Working Holiday and Farm Stays in Chile and successfully introduced these programs into the market back in 2005. Since 2012, we are the only agency to offer this type of program in Costa Rica.

                              Insider Advice

So, we are located in Chile, on location, and we know everything that is going on first hand. We know what it is like to live as a foreigner in South America and will be happy to assist you in making your stay unforgettable!

Therefore, we are able to give personalized information in accordance to your needs and availability.

                            Our team is multilingual and international! We speak fluent English, Spanish and German, as well as some French and Portuguese.

                              Gapless and Accurate Information flow

                              Approved Program Places
