The animal park is located in a small village about 3 to 4 hours from Cochabamba. There are a number of different animals, for
example monkeys, reptiles, a few feline species, different bird species and a bear. All animals have been traded (illegally) or have
been kept as domestic animals and pets. In the park, the animals are given a second chance. Many of them can’t be released into the
wild anymore, so the park provides them with food and shelter and tries to imitate their natural habitat as well as possible by keeping
them in a ‘semi-free’ environment. Volunteers are needed to help feed and take care of the animals, repair the shelters etc. How your
working day will look depends on the work that needs to be done. There are always a lot of volunteers helping out and the atmosphere
is international with a great sense of community.

Typical day
You might get up and prepare food for the bear. Then you bring a group of monkeys to the woods (they come back later for the night)
Then you have to fix a trail that was damaged by the heavy rains. After lunch with the other volunteers you and two others continue to build an enclosure for the parrots that need a bigger home, because there are too many of them now. You carry materials and get your hands dirty and the time flies by.
At the end of the day you sit around with a group of volunteers. Someone volunteers to cook dinner. You take a shower and after reading the first page of your novel, you fall into a deep sleep surrounded by the sound of nature.
Free-time activities
This is a small but nevertheless touristy village. While you might miss a vast cultural life, there are restaurants, bars and karaoke places here. It's is surrounded by nature and you can go for jungle hikes and do canoying.
