Volunteering in Argentina - Full

Volunteer work in Argentina is a great opportunity to combine a passion for community work and a different culture in an incredible city. By volunteering abroad in Argentina you will be exposed to a city which is more European than South American in flavour, you will find cobbled streets, tango, street performers, faded colonial architecture, the famous Argentina steak and The Marias Irish Pub.

By taking part in our volunteer projects in Argentina you can immerse yourself in an exciting environment away from the tourist trail and do something worthwhile. From organising outdoor games, teaching English phrases in small groups to fundraising in the city's plazas and trips further afield, volunteering in Argentina provides varied experiences. Choose our Argentinian Volunteer Project and you will never be on your own, as you will travel with like minded individuals each day and there are always enough volunteers to make friends with.

No experience is required for our volunteer work Argentina projects other than a few Spanish phrases before you arrive.
In addition to the weekly voluntary work in Argentina, each month a 3 to 5 day humanitarian trip is organised to the tropical north, to hand out supplies and resources to poorer indigenous Guarani communities.

A trip to visit the Iguassu Falls is usually available for those interested. Allow approximately £100 for the trip which can be booked after arrival. If you would like to find out more about voluntary work in Argentina, please contact us for more information.

Argentina at a glance

Argentina is a vast country and the second largest in South America, where all the attractions are on a huge scale. It is a traveller’s paradise stretching almost 3500km from Bolivia to the tip of South America. Argentina encompasses a wide array of geography and climates, and is almost the size of India. Nature-lovers can climb South America’s highest peak, walk amongst thousands of penguins and witness the world’s most amazing waterfalls.

Buenos Aires with its tango, colourful Boca district, lively nightlife and world famous cemetery La Recoleta-all a must-see. Time permitting, a long weekend would allow a visit to the sub-tropical Missiones region on the Brazilian border to visit the remarkable Iguassu Falls. A return coach can cost as little as £50 return for the 30 hour journey.

Festivals: Tango festival Buenos Aires late February, Gaucho festivals early/mid November.
Climate: Mostly temperate; subtropical in the far north, cold-temperate in the far south. Seasons are the reverse of those in Europe (higher temperatures October to April-for beaches at Mar del Plata arrive December-February). The Ski season is June to September.
