    Sobre o programa

    You’ll spend two weeks working alongside National Park rangers and community leaders, learning how to do a variety of hands-on conservation activities.

    You will:
    • work with conservationists at the Galapagos National Park
    • expand your own horizons by being immersed in a unique island culture
    • explore multiple island ecosystems
    • snorkel with marine life
    • teach local children about the importance of the environment

    The Galapagos is home to a unique population of bird and animal life. It’s also considered a research hotspot for scientists from around the world. During your time there, you’ll work with conservationists on various research projects in the Galapagos National Park.

    The park is understaffed because of a lack of funding. Because of this, it’s difficult for staff to do a lot of the research needed by themselves. As an extra pair of helping hands, you’ll help collect data during surveys. This is important work, as the results are used to advise the Ministry of Environment for policy-making.

    This involves feeding and caring for giant tortoises at a breeding center. You'll collect data, clear paths, and fix enclosures at the center. Take this chance to monitor and support these amazing animals until they can be released into the wild.

    You’ll also get involved in the removal of alien plants. These plants are a threat to local species that are only found in the Galapagos. You'll help plant endemic plants to restore the local ecosystem.

    By leading workshops in the local community, you also raise awareness about the importance of protecting the Galapagos’ unique ecosystem.

    As a volunteer, you'll spend your days immersed in the laid-back island culture of the Galapagos while leaving a positive impact. Since you will be living with a host family, you'll interact with local people on a daily basis, discovering a different way of life.

    This is also an excellent way to improve your Spanish or learn a new language.

    As part of the itinerary, we'll take you on a weekend trip to one of San Cristobal’s neighboring islands. This will show you more of the Galapagos Islands, offering a deeper understanding of local life.
