Many of our current team members first found their way to us through a university internship — and stayed because the experience was so impactful. Now, we want to give even more people the opportunity not just to visit Colombia, but to experience it up close while actively contributing to sustainable tourism.

An Internship in One of Colombia’s Most Beautiful Regions

Chaska Tours, a Swiss-run travel agency based in the magical town of San Agustín (Huila), offers international students a varied internship starting from a minimum of four months. Here, you work where others go on holiday - surrounded by tropical-Andean nature, archaeological wonders, and a warm local community.

Your Role: Tourism Allrounder

With us, you’ll dive deep into the daily operations of a professional incoming agency and tour operator. This means you’ll gain hands-on experience in:

Assisting with the organization, planning, and execution of tours
Communicating with guests from all over the world (e.g., DE/EN/ES)
Creative tasks in PR, writing, media collaboration, and storytelling
Supporting marketing and social media activities
Translations and general administrative tasks

You won’t just observe - you’ll actively shape projects, bring in your own ideas, and grow in a diverse, international environment.

Who We’re Looking For

Whether you study tourism, communication, media, geography, languages, or a related field — if you enjoy intercultural exchange, love to work creatively, and bring organizational talent to the table, you’re a perfect fit. Strong German or English skills are helpful in daily operations; basic Spanish is a plus but not a requirement.
