Since 2006, we have been helping travellers reach ever wilder corners of Latin America & Antarctica. For each journey we create, Plan South America donates to a charity or initiative connected to the country of travel.
In addition, we have developed a portfolio of adventures that are rich in purpose, from delivering school or medical supplies to remote communities, to assisting in house building programmes & rewilding endangered species
Guatemala: A Splash of Colour
Lake Atitlan‘s Mayan communities are enchanting. Santa Catarina Palopó, a lakeside town facing a lack of economic opportunity, experienced an inspiring transformation when the community came together to use art as a tool for social change. Adopt and paint a house to help create a sustainable community.
Colombia: Monkey Mission
3 hours due south of the colourful colonial port city of Cartagena, venture into the primary rainforest to help reintegrate Colombia’s highest concentration of endangered cotton-top tamarin monkeys into the wild.
Peru: Incas & Weavers
Amidst Inca ruins & archaeological sites, communities live as their ancestors did, growing corn, raising alpacas & weaving textiles. Sol y Luna Foundation educates underprivileged children in the Sacred Valley, inviting guests to share skills in language, art & sustainability.
Ecuador: Ride & Deliver
Horseback ride through Ecuador’s sierras to the backdrop of snow-capped Andes, delivering humanitarian relief to remote communities. Help set up a camp in the Amazon providing dentistry, obstetrics & first aid training, & learning traditional forest medicine from the indigenous Sapara tribe, the ‘healers’ of the jungle.
