Volunteer Expedition to Misiones and famous Iguazu Falls National Park

Join us on a humanitarian assistance journey to an indigenous village in the province of Misiones with a side visit to the famous Iguazu Falls National Park. These volunteer expeditions are a great way to help those in need in a more impoverished part of Argentina, and at the same time see some of the country's most amazing natural attractions.

The volunteer expeditions take place practically every month. The volunteer expeditions are made available to program participants already in Argentina who are registered in a GIC Argentina program. Upon arrival please let us know that you would be interested in going on the volunteer expedition. Typically three weeks before departure, you will receive the complete details of the trip.

The volunteer expedition to the Iguazu falls is organized toghether with our partner volunteer organization.
