"My shy 10 year old was sold on this trip from the first day. I've nicknamed him 'jungle boy' because he says he's coming back to go deeper into the jungle. Both boys loved the trip and my 7 year old especially wants to bring our guide home with us."

MEET OUR GUIDES:

ACTIVE NEW ZEALAND adventure travel guide
Sebastian Hansen
"Sebastian rates a 10! I can't imagine that he could have done more to insure a fun and satisfying trip for all involved. He kept us well informed about necessary details, was knowledgeable about the areas we visited, and maintained a good sense of humor. Sebastian is a good listener and doesn't show off or require particular attention. He always seemd to be one step ahead so there were no snafus along the way. He is a huge asset to Active SA."

South America adventure guiding jobs
Thank you for your interest in a trip leading position with ACTIVE SOUTH AMERICA!

Here is a copy of our official Application for Employment, along with a job description:

Employment Application

Job Description - Trip Leader

Fax, email or post me the application form, along with a copy of your CV/resume (if you haven't already sent one) and a cover letter IN SPANISH that tells me why you should work for us! (By the way, we don't expect your written expression to be perfect in both Spanish and English - we just need to make sure you can get around in both!)

ACTIVE SOUTH AMERICA guides work in Peru, Ecuador, Chile and Costa Rica - mostly Peru. New guides will generally be based in Peru and leading only Jaguar trips there for at least their first season. We prefer guides who are native of the country where they will be guiding so we rarely consider applicants who are not from Peru, Ecuador, Chile or Costa Rica.

As well as fluent English, guides need to speak FLUENT Spanish, OR have conversational level Spanish AND substantial tourism experience or training. Applications from non-Spanish speakers will not be considered.

We will hold your application on file until we start preparing for our next intake - generally around August and April - at which time we will contact you to arrange a phone interview, or to let you know that your application has been unsuccessful.

If you happen to be in New Zealand or South America between now and then, drop me a line to let me know, as we prefer to conduct in-person interviews wherever possible, and NZ and South America are where we hang out!

I look forward to hearing from you!
