A friend of mine used these guys a while back http://www.theleap.co.uk/
Probably a good idea to brush up on your Spanish/Portuguese before you head out however ;)

Well.. you could come to South America but finding a job won't be so easy...sometimes, even people who have graduated in a University can't find a good job.. :-/

But if you want to improve your Spanish more than earning $$$, there are some organizations that can bring you to volunteer... (I think you get paid too, but not as a regular job)
