My kids both want to do a Rotary type exchange program in a Spanish speaking country. Not concerning about how to get it done(visas, rules, etc), but rather, where would they be best accepted and most likely to have a great experience with lifetime memories and friendships. Both speak at intermediate level Spanish. I am mostly concerned about safety and such. Not doing an International school where instruction is in English as that defeats the purpose, and this is my kids wish. Any thoughts? Thank you

Chile is currently regarded as the Latin-American country with the best educational system and it is also one of the safest too.
Rotary exchange program is done through their high school for the student, ask an advisor at their school.
I don’t know much about this, but you reminded me that I met someone who had a “sister” from the US, who lived with her while she was on exchange through Rotary. She truly became another member of that family, like another daughter. She kept visiting Chile and eventually ended up living in the country.
You can find good schools in chile, but they can be expensive, and I don’t really understand how Rotary works either, but I imagine they must work with good schools
Aren’t those kind of exchanges done by the Rotary club tho? You could ask them if it can be arranged to a LatAm country, I think the Club is still active in Chile and Argentina
