Conservation in Peru - 2 week volunteering 'taster'

For a chance to truly get away from it all this summer, join us for two weeks in the Peruvian rainforest, deep in the heart of the Amazon. This project offers a unique chance to experience the rainforest environment and participate in important conservation activities.

On arrival at the Taricaya Lodge, our jungle base, you will be given a full orientation and receive an introduction to the project from one of our conservation staff. You will spend the two weeks working on the same schedule as regular and more experienced volunteers. Projects currently include wildlife observations from our viewing platform high in the jungle canopy, night observation walks along the extensive network of trails, plus work on our animal release programme and pilot farm scheme.

Volunteering in Peru in your Summer Holidays

All volunteers live together at the lodge, in shared rooms or small bungalows. Your weekend trip will either be a camping trip down river or a visit to Puerto Maldonado, where you can relax in more luxurious surroundings and have a fun night out.

The price of this placement is £1195, with an additional charge of £395 if you want to extend for an extra week. This includes accommodation, food, insurance, in-country transportation and support, work experience and leisure activities.

Conservation in Peru also runs as one of our standard projects, for anyone aged 17 and up. For more information please follow this link: Conservation & Environment in Peru
