    Overview

    At Gogi Abroad, we offer unique experiential learning opportunities aimed at nurturing compassionate and thoughtful young adults. Our trips are crafted and led by educators with over 15 years of experience. We believe travel is a vital aspect of a student's education, exposing them to language, culture, and humanity in new communities. This expands their perspectives on global citizenship and ways of living.

    Submerge yourself in Ecuadorian traditions at Palugo Farm. Participate in sustainable living, engage in hands-on farming, care for animals, and learn native crafts while contributing to service projects. Experience cultural exchange, hike the Andes, and spend a weekend with an indigenous community.

    Trip Highlights

    Dive into Farm Life: Begin your journey at Palugo Farm, where you'll embrace the rhythm of permaculture. Take part in food preparation, community-building activities, and hands-on farm work to prepare for the adventure ahead.

    Indigenous Homestay: Immerse yourself in the heart of Kichwa culture by living with a local family. Learn traditional farming techniques and contribute to meaningful projects like education and reforestation, all while experiencing the warmth and hospitality of the community.
