Ecuador

Ecuador's culture is just as varied as the landscape, with traditional Native Incan, African, and European colonial influences that combine to create uniquely Ecuadorian cultural traditions. Its people are very friendly and hospitable making the cities full of life and culture. Our volunteers will be based in the historic capital city of Quito.

Quito has one of the largest, least altered and best preserved historic centers in all of the Americas. It was also one of the very first World Cultural Heritage Sites declared by UNESCO. Projects Volunteers have two choices, but both are in Quito. Environmental conservation and animal rescue and care are both major issues facing the city and surrounding areas.
