Airport and Arrival Information

Who will meet me at the airport? What should I do if I get delayed or miss a flight? When should I arrive?

All Ecuador volunteers are asked to arrive at the Quito International Airport in Ecuador where a local staff member will meet you.

We ask that you fly with all your important documents, including your volunteer placement, passport, visa and vaccination booklet. Please have them accessible in case you are asked to produce them. Volunteers will receive a tourist stamp on their passport good for 90 days upon arrival in Ecuador . Our volunteers join our program on a tourist visa basis. Volunteers do not need a long term or working visa.

If some sort of delay occurs, including flight delays or missed flights, contact our Ecuador office as soon as possible. Volunteers coming to Ecuador are advised to arrive one day before their program start date. If you arrive more than one day early or remain in Ecuador after the completion of your program, you will be responsible for your own room and food expenses.
