Get Planning

If you’ve been accepted as a Short Term Volunteer, you are responsible for booking your flights, getting sufficient travel and health insurance, visas etc. Here’s a few links which should get you started. But don’t hesitate to contact the Youth and Volunteer Coordinator if you have any questions.

Flights

It’s worth shopping around – any travel agent will help or try a few websites.
We have used the following companies and found them competitive and helpful:

Journey Latin America
020 8747 3108

sales@journeylatinamerica.co.uk
Key Travel
0845 122 0102
www.keytravel.co.uk
purple@keytravel.co.uk

Insurance

Again it’s worth shopping around – but make sure that you get adequate medical and travel insurance that will cover every eventuality and the entirety of your placement. We usually use:

Masterpolicy
0870 44 22 200

Visas

Generally speaking British citizens can enter South America countries as Tourists for 30 -90 days without the need for a Visa. But rules are liable to change and it’s best to get up to date information from the relevant Embassy and their consulate department.
