Gap Year Programs in Latin America

The experience of a lifetime awaits

Curated for the curious aged 17 to 24, you’ll discover the lush landscapes of Latin America, get to know the people who call it home, and return with a new perspective and skills. 

Lose yourself in the history, culture, and wilderness of this incredible part of the world. Zipline through rainforest canopies in Costa Rica, raft down roaring rapids in Peru, and learn how to make incredible coffee and chocolate in Panama. 

Connect and live with the local communities, giving you a unique insight into their way of life and the chance to use and improve your Spanish. You may even stay with and learn the trades of indigenous communities and take part in vital conservation efforts for the local ecosystem. 

Our gap year experiences are perfectly designed to help you discover more about yourself, your passions, and the world around you. They don’t have to be part of an actual gap year—you can choose to travel for just four weeks over the summer or split 6 to 10 weeks between two countries. It’s up to you.
