The long, thin expanse of land that occupies a significant proportion of South America’s western coast belongs to Chile.
Travel to Chile to experience a magnificent variety of geographical features. With over 2,700 miles of pacific coastline Chile boasts of rugged glacial features in the Patagonian South, and the world’s driest desert (Atacama) to the north.
On a gap year in Chile you can learn Spanish at our Spanish Language School or work in an orphanage in Santiago. Offering your skills as a volunteer in Chile is a great way to give something back to this amazing country.
Pick up one of the most rhythmic languages in the world with small, friendly classes, dedicated teachers and excellent facilities. Great for travelling round South America or for taking part in a Spanish speaking volunteer project.
Help out an orphanage for children who have been abused or abandoned by their families. Babies and toddlers up to the age of four need waking, feeding and bathing – but most of all, love and attention.
Journey across South America exploring the continent's highlights, from Chile to Argentina via Bolivia's Salt Flats and the Iguacu Falls on the Brazil-Argentina border.
Spend 5 months or more on an amazing gap year in Latin America. This programme provides all the structure you need, with lots of activities including Spanish lessons, volunteering with wildlife or disadvantaged street children.
