Internships Ecuador & Peru
Program Overview
More than an internship – an experience that changes your life
At Go Local Travel, we believe that an international internship is about much more than gaining work experience. It is an opportunity to discover a new culture, develop personally and professionally, learn from local communities, and make a meaningful contribution.
We offer tailor-made internships in Ecuador and Peru for students from a wide range of study backgrounds. Rather than providing standard programs, we look at each student individually and match their interests, skills and study requirements with carefully selected local organizations, businesses and projects.
Our internship opportunities cover a broad range of fields, including tourism and hospitality, social work, education, healthcare, wildlife and conservation, sustainable agriculture, food and superfoods, business and more.
From your first contact with us until your return home, you receive personal guidance and support.
With more than 15 years of experience, we work closely with trusted local organizations in Ecuador and Peru. We believe in genuine connection, cultural exchange and mutual learning.
