If you want to enjoy a great experience in the Amazon Rainforest and see lots of wildlife you could take part in our volunteer programme. We offer a special daily rate in exchange for volunteer work.
PROGRAM
The volunteering work involves a range of activities depending your interests and abilities. The work is interesting and can sometimes be phisically demanding (clearing small areas arround newly planted trees, work in the farm, varnish the bungalows) but will be no more than 4 hours daily. You can choose lighter work such as monitoring birds, carpentry, cooking, traslating, painting the boats, survey work.
