Travelling through South America is an adventure in itself: huge landscapes, vibrant cities, ancient cultures and some of the warmest people you'll meet along the way.
But this journey goes one step further.
Along the route from Buenos Aires to La Paz, you'll make a series of Impact Stops – opportunities to step beyond the usual traveller experience, connect with local communities, share your time and skills, and learn from the people you meet.
The journey combines these meaningful experiences with an epic South American adventure: from Buenos Aires and the mountains of northern Argentina to the rural communities of the Quebrada de Humahuaca, across the Andes to San Pedro de Atacama, and then by 4WD through Bolivia's volcanoes, colourful lagoons and vast salt flats before reaching La Paz.
It's not a volunteering programme with some travel added on, and it's not just another backpacking trip.
It's a journey where travel and positive impact become part of the same experience – leaving something behind, while taking home much more than memories.
