Program Overview

Considered one of the world’s most biologically diverse countries, Ecuador makes for an ideal setting to widen your knowledge of relevant topics and sectors. Offered through World Internships, this placement allows you to work alongside farmers, local citizens, and educators in Quito, the Galapagos Islands, or Bahia. The land in these locations is some of the most well preserved and least altered in the world, making it perfect for internships in Conservation, Botany, Wildlife, Ecology, and more.

Also open to volunteers, these placements are located in the Andean city of Quito, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, thanks to its being "the best-preserved, least-altered historic center in Latin America".
