Why work abroad in a hostel in South America?

South America is one of the best destinations to work abroad, with amazing sites and culture. Work exchange in South America can be your chance to develop new skills, like learning spanish! Besides, each country is special in its own way. You can go deep into the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, Ecuador or Peru. Go to Argentina to hike in Patagonia or admire amazing wildlife in the Galapagos Islands. Work in a hostel in South America and save money while you meet the world!

Do I need a visa to work exchange in South America?

In general, a tourist visa is enough for a work exchange program in South America. Each country has its own requirements, but most South-american countries are pretty open to foreigners. For example in Peru, Europeans and North-americans can stay up to 183 days with a tourist visa! In Brazil, Americans can apply for the new e-visa, making it easier to get to the country without having to apply in person at an embassy.
