As the country has become safer in recent years, volunteering in Colombia has become increasingly popular. Colombia is the land of emeralds and sunshine, set in diverse surroundings that leap from rolling mountains to tropical beaches, from the Caribbean to the Pacific. Those who choose to volunteer in Colombia can venture deep into the jungle or visit one of Colombia’s many coffee plantations. Though Colombia has experienced an incredibly violent past it is on the road to recovery and has experienced positive economic growth in recent years. Volunteers in Colombia can be placed anywhere in this magical country, but many find themselves in Bogata or Cartegena. Bogota is known for it’s famous museums and nightlife, while Cartegena is excellent for water sports and is an attractive spot for tourists. Volunteers in Colombia will provide educational, nutritional and emotional support to needy citizens and may also assist with conservation efforts.
