Why a Farm Stay in Chile?
South America is known for its many horse-breeding farms. It is precisely these ranches that are in the focus of young people who travel to South America for a farm stay and want to immerse themselves in rural life here. Accommodation and meals are free for you.
On many farms, all volunteers eat meals together in good company and get to know each other better during their stay. This strengthens your feeling of togetherness and also improves your language skills. By working on a horse ranch or another farm in South America, you learn a foreign language on the side and improve your language level. You will also get a deep insight into the culture and traditions of the region.
In addition, you do valuable work for the farmers on site and take a lot of practical skills with you for your later life. By the way, farm work in South America is particularly suitable as a travel destination for a longer stay abroad thanks to the many ranches. Here you have a large selection of hosts that we would be happy to refer you to. At the same time, the country impresses with its unique nature and landscape, which you can explore in more detail during your free time on excursions.
