Intercultural Programs Overview
Join hands with Tandana from anywhere in the world!
Go beyond your typical travel or volunteer experience on a "Trip with Intention" or "Andean Cultural Journey" in highland Ecuador. These trips provide individuals and groups an exciting opportunity to connect with community members and contribute to their projects - all the while learning about the local Kichwa culture and enjoying the region’s majestic natural beauty. We also offer remote opportunities from the comfort of your own home to learn about Ecuador and Mali.
