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 and observation workload is often limited when it rains. As a result, you may be working inside the lodge doing craft-work or working with the local school. Teaching English in the native community is another option for volunteers who are interested in working within the indigenous community.
