Description

Consider joining a Lead Adventures volunteer project as a family. Ecuador offers four amazing yet totally diverse regions: the Amazon, the Andes, the coast and the Galapagos Islands. We have somewhere exactly what's right for your family to gain experience as volunteers.

Combine volunteer work in Ecuador with adventure travel and tours. Your time and skills are needed to help street children, teach in local schools, work at an animal rescue center, help out at the Galapagos Giant Tortoise Breeding Center, coach sports and more. You can combine one week at one project and the next week in another one so you can truly experience all that Ecuador has to offer. In your time off, there are a host of wonderful local experiences to enjoy.

We customize itineraries to each family's individual needs. As local specialists we provide special accommodation arrangements if desired to give families the comfort they require. Children under 10 years old receive special discounts on the trip cost. Please get in touch with us for a quote.
