A career break in Bolivia is an excellent choice if you fancy the idea of travelling somewhere a little more ‘off the beaten track’. If you take a career break in Bolivia you can explore one of South America’s most remote countries and experience a way of life and culture life that remains largely unaffected by the tourist trail even to this day. There’s a hugely diverse range of landscapes to discover on a Bolivia career break too – from the Andes Mountains to the tropical rainforests of the Amazon. An absolute ‘must visit’ on a career break in Bolivia is Lake Titicaca – the world’s highest navigable lake, which looks more like an inland sea dominated by magnificent views of the Andes.

A large percentage of Bolivia’s population lives below the poverty line – so there is some really worthwhile Bolivia voluntary work to get involved in. We have a number of rewarding Bolivia career break projects to choose from – which are dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged people or communities. Bolivia career break programmes also include Spanish tuition.
Discover why so many people love Bolivia. Take Spanish lessons and learn to salsa, do some valuable volunteer work with children or animals, visit the highest city in the world, meet the indigenous Tacana people and lots more.
Give the vulnerable and disadvantaged children of Bolivia, new skills, confidence and the opportunity to have fun. Help to organise creative activities from painting and drawing to dancing and sports, volunteers can also lend a hand with the running of the centre in the kitchen, serving meals and keeping things spick and span.
