This volunteer program is especially suitable for:
Age 18+
Singoli
Coppie
Gruppi
50+
We accept volunteers all year round:
We welcome volunteers from around the world to assist us in caring for the animals in our refuges. You will be involved in activities such as exercise, providing enrichment, cleaning, and feeding. You might also be asked to assist with maintenance projects and construction. Over 7,000 international individuals have volunteered with us in the past 25 years.
The minimum time commitment required to volunteer is:
- 2 weeks to work with coatis, tayra, primates and others.
- 4 weeks (or sometimes longer) to work with the puma that walks on trails
Location:
- Jacj Cuisi Sanctuary - near Rurrenabaque
Some of the highlights of volunteering with us are:
- A unique, worthwhile and memorable experience
- Gain hands-on experience of caring for wildlife
- Get up close and personal with rescued pumas
- Incredibly rewarding
- Community living - share this experience with many like-minded volunteers
Why to volunteer with us?
Many animals arrive at our Centres with various problems, such as poor nutrition, malnourishment, health problems, loss of identity, psychological traumas or physical ailments due to the conditions in which they were kept previously. The majority of these animals cannot be re-released due to the irreversible damage caused by humans since they were taken from their natural habitats. Therefore we work to offer each and every one of these animals the best possible quality of life, including a proper diet, as large an enclosure as we are able to build them, exercise and stimulation.
Work areasJacj Cuisi cares for pumas, albifron monkeys, squierrel monkeys, spider monkeys, coatis, tayra and others.
All volunteers working with animals assist in cleaning, preparing food and providing enrichment. In addition to this some areas have further responsibilities/duties. The minimum number of days required to work in each area is a policy put in place for the benefit and stability of our animals.
AccommodationJacj Cuisi has one basic volunteer dorm that sleeps up to 8 people. There is limited mobile phone signal at specific points in the sanctuary, however only with the provider Entel. There is no electricity and volunteers currently sleep in one large dorm with bunk beds on straw mattresses. Bedsheets are provided. Pillows and mosquito nets are given out upon request and depending on availability. You may wish to bring a sleeping bag or blanket for colder nights, and you will need a padlock to lock your room during the day.
There are two ecological toilets with attached showers. A nearby creek is used primarily for relaxing and bathing. Please try to bring biodegradable soaps with you as much of this water directly enters the water system.
There is an equipped kitchen where the staff cook three meals per day.

Visa, flights, travel insurance or vaccinations are NOT included in the program fees.
An airport pickup isn't included within the program fees either.
The nearest airport is Rurrenabaque (RBQ) in Rurrenabaque. We assist you to find cheap flights to Bolivia.
Going abroad is an adventure and it is always best to be prepared. Sudden illness or injury, cancellation or theft - a travel insurance for Bolivia provides security and is a plus to have.
If you are intending to volunteer in Bolivia you should seek medical advice before starting your social journey. Check your required vaccinations for Bolivia.
