Basic Rate
The basic volunteer rate of USD300.00
(ten days) covers your food and  accommodation at Wasai
L & E- but does not include transport, guided tours, National
Park entrance fees or insurance. If you want you can joint with
any of our tourist groups for free as a member of the workers
staff.
To get to Wasai L&E from Puerto Maldonado
as a volunteer you can therefore time your arrival to coincide
with a W. L&E supply boat trip (contact us).
National Park entrance fees: to enter the protected
area you need a ticket issued by the Puerto Maldonado office
of INRENA (Instituto Nacional de Recursos Naturales). This is
important- without this you will not be able to stay at Wasai
L&E. If you are traveling to Wasai L&E with a tourist
boat their staff can help you with this. You should explain
that you are going to Wasai Lodge as a "Voluntario"
and you should sign in as such in the checkpoint registration
book on your journey up-river. This allows you to enter for
a fee currently set at 10 S/. (approx. 3 USD).
