Our conservation project is located
in the Amazon Rainforest on the outskirts of Manu National Reserve outside of
Cusco. Volunteers will be involved in various types of work such as
reforestation, animal observation and animal care.
The Volunteer work involves a
commitment to collaborate, creating alternative development, initiatives and
participation in the action, supporting the personnel to maintenance the
reserve and the development of the activities in the conservation area.
What makes this program unique is
the fact that you have complete freedom as a volunteer. The more you put on
these programs, much more valuable and effective they become for the
environment and the local people.
The project requires volunteers to
work creatively and independently, and is not the best option for volunteers
who are looking for a highly organized and supervised program.
Volunteers normally work for 4 hours
a day and the rest of the day they have free to explore the amazing area.
The type of work that you choose to
undertake will depend upon your expectations and skills. You may choose works
or may discuss with us before your arrival the type of work you would like to
undertake and we can advise you of the possibilities.

Please note that the reforestation

Teaching English in the native community is another option for volunteers who
are interested in working within the indigenous community.
