Up Close Bolivia

Our time in Bolivia is being spent living and volunteering just outside of La Paz, mainly in Jupapina and Mallasa.

Our volunteer programme is varied and based on the principal of 'reciprocidad' or reciprocity. The Up Close team work hard to build true friendships with the local community in order to foster genuine two way relationships that benefit the community and the volunteers in equal measure. For that reason, volunteers respond directly to the needs of the local projects, meaning we are able to spend our time in ways that are genuinely helpful and it also means that no two days are the same!
