The cheapest way to do it is just turn up there and look at the many noticeboards in hostels with signs looking for people. They´re all over the place. Well I saw them in Peru and Ecuador. It´s also how I got my current position in Nicaragua. I know a place in the Bolivian Amazon if you want to work with animal (read:clean up after animals).

If you want to do it over the net, or with an agency you´ll probably end up spending a few grand beforehand.
