Our mission is to create cultural exchange between local youth and worldwide volunteers
Looking for a great experience?
Explore the world's most striking landscapes, help with meaningful volunteer work and meet like-minded people from around the world. We welcome individual volunteers, interns, families and groups regardless of age, experience or background. Spanish is not a requirement, we provide full on-site support with free Spanish classes
We are a sustainable grassroots NGO based in Santa Elena de Uairen, Venezuela
Our headquarters are located in the heart of the incredible Gran Sabana National Park in Venezuela. We are at the center of one of the world's most impressive biological reserves while enjoying an extremely comfortable climate.
I wanted to do something different, see something new and possibly give a meaning to that experience.

Our Volunteer Programs
Our community outreach programs are aimed to enhance the life of disadvantaged young people in this remote and spectacular but at the same time absolutely safe region.
I can’t imagine a more beautiful place to be or better people to share my time with.

Make a difference
Experience local cultures and meet the people. Aldeas de Paz Volunteers and Interns work in direct contact with the lovely people of Santa Elena and in stunning locations: In the village center with local institutions, on the Foundations´ Grounds surrounded by a virgin rain forest reserve and in remote and authentic Pemón Indigenous Villages.Is Venezuela Safe enough for me?
Our home base is a small village with strong
social responsibility. Quite opposite from what you
hear about the politically active capital
Caracas people here in Santa Elena are very friendly and there it is absolutely
safe for travellers and volunteers
