Sustainable Bolivia is a NGO based in Riberalta, the heart of the Bolivian Amazon. We focus our work on sustainable community development and conservation actions.
Our volunteers have the opportunity to live and support our work at the Aquicuana Reserve and it's surroundings. This area of incredible biodiversity is located about 20 kilometers from the city of Riberalta in the Beni Department of the Bolivian Amazon. It is home to Lake San José, the plant-medicine retreat center Pisatahua, and two rural communities: San José and Warnes. Its name, Aquicuana, comes from the Tacana native language, meaning ‘land of the giant trees.’
There we promote initiatives to support education, scientific research, community development, regenerative agriculture and conservation actions.
We provide a open space for the community called "Comedor" where volunteers have internet access so that they can prepare and develop activities with the community. We also offer a Research Station and (depending on availability) accommodation in the city of Riberalta if volunteers want to visit, shop or go out during the weekends.
Social media and marketing knowledge here at Sustainable Bolivia would offers a great chance to present our work to the outside world and to get into contact with our supporters, beneficiaries and other people interested in our work. Graphic designers can help us organize our information to help deliver our message in the most impactful way possible.
Your support would contribute to the community development here at Riberalta and the conservation of the Aquicuana Reserve.

Vrijetijdsactiviteiten
In their free time, volunteers can enjoy a lot of activities around Riberalta such as enjoying the nature of the Amazon (tours, trekking) and the animals, enjoying the rivers (boat tours) or the swimming pools in the city. It is also very easy to go to Brazil where you there is a lot of amenities for shopping.
If volunteers want
to travel, there is a lot to see in Bolivia itself (easily accessible
by plane) such as the salt flats, the Titicaca Lake, the cities of La
Paz, Sucre and Tarija (this last one for the wines), the mines of Potosi
and of course its incredible nature and the parks around Santa Cruz
(Amboro) or Samaipata, and around Villa Tunari.

What's included in the cost?
Airport pick up from the city of Riberalta
We offer accommodation inside the Aquicuana Reserve and share
Pisatahua Retreat's infrastructure. Volunteers and interns share dorm
rooms in our sustainable ecolodges, the volunteer cabin and the research
station.
About infrastructure in Pisatahua:
We employ energy-efficient innovations to enhance the comfort and aesthetic experience of our guests. We make every possible attempt to utilize local, natural, and sustainable building materials for housing and furniture.
We use renewable energy resources and we’ve implemented simple, cost-efficient, energy and water conservation measures. We treat grey-water and recycle all our waste.
Our facilities were constructed with sustainably-harvested wood, bamboo, and palm leaves. We designed all of our infrastructure in accordance with traditional construction techniques; however, these methodologies were adapted to meet our specific needs. Local community members are employed for all our construction and maintenance needs.
All construction methods minimized the removal of vegetation. The trees whose lives we spared return the favor by cooling down the area and shielding our guests from the sun.
We constructed limited number
of elevated walkways to prevent soil erosion and protect fragile
ecosystems. These walkways also protect our guests from the jungle
elements.
Energy and Water Conservation:
Due to our remote location, we’re completely off-grid and we must generate our own electricity. Electricity use is limited to power a few appliances such as common-area lighting, water pumps, and kitchen equipment.
We’ve taken steps to minimize our water usage by implementing a few simple measures including: low-flow restrictor valves, low-flow toilets and water saving nozzles. Furthermore, guests are required to use 100% biodegradable, phosphorous-free soap and shampoo.
Some of our energy conservation measures include:
- Renewable solar energy light-bulbs
- Drying racks on clothes line
- Reusing towels and linens
- High efficiency appliances
- Energy efficient refrigeration
Our goal is to Leave-No-Trace when it comes to waste.
Anything we pack in, we bring out. We recycle everything we can in the
city of Riberalta. All organic matter from the kitchen is composted. A
conscious effort is made to reduce all packaging. Whenever possible we
purchase supplies made from recycled materials.
- Drinkable water available
- 3 meals per day (vegetarian/vegan option possible)
Makkelijke toegang op de project site
Visum, vluchten, reisverzekering en vaccinaties zijn NIET inbegrepen in de programmakosten.
De dichtste luchthaven is Gen Buech Airport (RIB) in Riberalta. We assisteren u met het vinden van goedkope vluchten naar Bolivia.
Naar het buitenland reizen is een avontuur en het is best om goed voorbereid te zijn. Plots ziek worden of gewond raken, annulaties of diefstal - een reisverzekering voor Bolivia biedt zekerheid en is een meerwaarde.
Als je de intentie hebt om als vrijwilliger aan de slag te gaan in Bolivia dien je eerst medisch advies in te winnen alvorens je eropuit trekt. Kijk de benodigde vaccinaties na voor Bolivia.

Gegevens over jouw aankomst
When can your start volunteering?
Volunteers can join the program throughout all year round.
How to get to Riberalta?
First you would have to fly into Bolivia - either La Paz (LPB) or Santa Cruz (VVI). From there you can take a connecting flight with the airline Ecojet to Riberalta. There are daily flights that cost about $120 each way. We typically recommend you fly into Santa Cruz as the connections are easier. Contact us for information to purchase a flight with a local travel agency.
