Incredible experience

I spent 5 months volunteering in Santa Maria, and had the most incredible time! I have never felt so welcomed and at home in a place as I did there. I made friends to last a lifetime and will be back to visit as soon as I am able. It is a truly special place in the beautiful Paraguayan countryside, and offers the opportunity to really become a part of a community rather than just passing through as a tourist or traveller. The host family I lived with made me feel so welcome and I really enjoyed getting involved with day to day life and actively learning about Paraguayan culture whilst also improving my Spanish (complete immersion!) and learning Guarani. If you are a studying Spanish and looking for a place to improve your language skills and also learn a lot about the unique culture of Paraguay then it's the perfect place!
