Accommodation and Meals

Accommodation is in a homestay. A homestay is similar to a host family. They are rooms in private households in which one or more rooms are rented to volunteers, interns or language students. In most homestays, the landlord himself also lives in the accommodation. All landlords are open minded, very hospitable and eager to receive people from abroad.

Your landlord can be a single person, a warm señora, young professionals, students or even couples and families. Homestay accommodation offers you deep insights into Chilean culture and language.

We offer single rooms as an accommodation option. A double room is also possible on request. Internet access is available and you can book half-board if you wish. You always have free access to the shared rooms, such as the living room, kitchen or bathroom. All accommodations are in a safe location with good transport links.

Unterkunft Chile

Work place

Santiago, the capital of Chile, is the heart of the nation with almost 6 million inhabitants and one of the most important financial metropolises in Latin America. The city has many faces in both cultural and architectural terms. Traditional neighborhoods, well-tended mansions and colonial buildings compete with modern office complexes, bold skyscrapers and the modern metro system. You will find modern shopping centers, but also small noisy street markets with Indian handicrafts.

From Santiago there are numerous outdoor opportunities within an hour, such as climbing, rafting, bathing in hot springs or trips to several ski areas (June-September). The Pacific coast is also only an hour away. Many Santiaginos use the proximity of nature in the summer (December-February) to escape the noise of the big city for a weekend and go to the mountains or to the beaches.
