The Cliffs Preserve Patagonia Chile is an eco-luxury retreat and private preserve that comprises more than eight thousand pristine acres of millenary forests and six miles of imposing South Pacific coast. We strive to create long lasting and unforgettable memories delivering the simple pleasures of life with a caring and personal touch, all this in one of the most remarkable and intact settings on the earth; Patagonia. Our commitment to deliver to our guests an exceptional experience goes hand in hand with our commitment to respect the integrity of Nature’s creations. Our goal is to bring guests and families closer to nature while they experience a life-impacting journey.

The Cliff's Preserve is looking to hire two interns for the spring of 2010 for a six-month internship. January is Chile’s summer and also a very busy time at the preserve. Both internships are for students who want to learn more about an interesting business in Patagonia, Chile.

One internship would focus on the organic garden. All of the food that is grown at the Cliff’s Preserve is grown organically. Even guests are invited into the garden to see its great delights. This person should have experience in agriculture, gardening, and organic foods.

The second internship would focus on the guest experience. This person will rotate through a variety of roles, such as, greeting clients, dining room, guiding through hikes, penguin watching etc, spa services, etc.

For both internships, the Cliff’s Preserve is looking for someone who wants to learn, immerse themselves in another culture, is adventurous, is willing to take on any task and also able to multitask.

Language Skills:
You must have taken at least two years of college level Spanish at the time of application to apply!

Admissions to La Alhambra, Seville´s Cathedral and Alcázares, and Córdoba´s Mosque are included in the fee if you have an ISIC card. Other visits to museums, cathedrals, bullfights, etc., are not included in the program fee since not all students want to see the numerous sites Cádiz and Madrid and the surrounding cities like Puerto de Santa María, Jerez, San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Segovia, Ávila, Valencia and Salamanca have to offer. Required for excursions: The ISIC card, which entitles you to lower (or free) admission rates. El Prado and the Royal Palace are free on Sunday mornings.

Many students take small-group, side trips to Portugal, Morocco, Valencia, Barcelona, Pamplona, San Sebastián, etc. You have one free weekend and 5 days at the end of the program for these trips but you need to have a separate budget for them. Form a group and make arrangements from here or once you arrive in Spain but please know that Georgia Tech is not responsible for these trips because GT does not sponsor or promote unsupervised side trips or visits.
