You will be working with our staff in and around the our reserve. Since we set up the programme the area around the lodge has been designated as an official conservation reserve. You will work on programmes ranging from releasing animals back out into the wild to planting trees. The reserve has a model farm which allows local farmers to come and see different eco-friendly farming methods in use before trying them out. It is an amazing location where you will be able to help preserve the natural environment.
We take seriously our responsibilities towards the communities we work with in Peru. We have full time staff on the ground that will meet you from the airport, give you an induction on arrival and support you from our local office throughout your stay. They are mainly local people who we pay a good local wage and can give you all the information and support you will need during your stay. They have been trained by us to work with visiting volunteers.
In Peru you will be staying at our private reserve in the rainforest. The Lodge was built by us with the assistance of local builders. This meant that the money went directly into the local economy. The meals you eat as well as the chairs you sit on have all been made locally. We try as much as we can to support local suppliers. Living in Peru will give you an opportunity to be a part of the local community. We work with local farmers. Most of the money that you spend when you go to the nearest town will be at grassroots level going into local Peruvian businesses. Our organisation is environmentally responsible. We recycle at our offices and offset our carbon emissions from staff flying to our destinations around the world. We believe that actions like this can be the first step towards preserving the planet for future generations.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
