There is so much I can say about this WorldPackers. Everything all the other reviews say about the team making you feel like family and Danny always supporting you is very true. It is so inspiring what Danny and his mother and other locals in the team do. Work is relaxed and flexible with a lot of activities in between. My friend and I were here for only about a week but I feel lucky enough to find a reconnection with nature here that I thought I lost a long time ago. Danny really gives permission to and helps bring out your inner child. It was a beautiful experience.

This was my first international and solo trip, and it couldn't have been a better experience. From the beginning, Danny always made me feel welcome and made sure that I was comfortable during my stay. I met so many amazing people, both volunteers and locals, and had so many amazing experiences!! Danny always made sure to tell us what we were going to be doing, when, and what to expect. But he was also very adaptable, especially when the weather put a dent in our plans. You can tell he really loves and cares about what he's doing, and genuinely wants what's best for the animals and envirnonment

Danny and the shelter experience was by far the most unique experience I've ever had in my life!! It was so much more than my expectations, we got the chance not only to visit but to create impact for the Amazon ecosystem. The volunteer job was simple but meaningful, Danny was always open to my ideas and gave great suggestions and plenty of time for me to create content. He was also very supportive to every idea I have. The days staying there was amazing, I got to meet a lot of locals and amazing international travellers and had great connections with them. I would definitely recommend!!!

I cannot recommend this more, a week was not enough! Danny is so passionate about what he does, so knowledgable and really takes the time to take you on excursions and explain things! The work is a real mixture including animal care, path upkeep etc, it is generally quite relaxed! The food is amazing with 3 big meals, and the whole the shelter team are incredible, they're so happy to share their culture, particularly within the native community , so you really get a true cultural jungle experience!The new volunteer house is going to be amazing too!

I spend 10 days at Am0zonas and it was a truly amazing experience! Daniel is so kind and makes you feel very welcome. As this program includes multiple projects I was able to get to know the local people and work in different areas - with the cutest animals, in the village of the indigenous people, help build/renovate a house and go on small excursions etc. Regarding working hours some days might be longer others shorter, if you feel overwhelmed you can always tell Daniel. Get ready for an adventure!:)

A completely different experience. It's a comprehensive program that will give you a firsthand look at the community, the animals, and the vegetation. What Danny does is admirable. The work is hard and the weather is hot, but it's worth it.

Alojamiento

Shared Dorm

We have several cozy places for you to stay during your experience. In town, our charming jungle lodge is clean and welcoming, crafted from cement and wood. It boasts a lovely garden space, a terrace, and a rooftop with hammocks—perfect for relaxing and watching the sunset. Located near the town market, this lodge offers shared bathrooms with sit-down toilets, hot showers during specific times, and Wi-Fi available for part of the day. The dorms accommodate up to 4 travelers per room, and you’ll either stay in an exclusive building or with a local family.

For a more immersive experience, we offer a few rustic jungle accommodations surrounded by nature. One is located in a hummingbird park—it has Wi-Fi, a private bathroom, and hot showers, and can host up to 3 people. Another one, currently under construction and ready by June, is set inside the animal sanctuary and offers a fun jungle sleepover vibe. This one is more adventurous, with no Wi-Fi or hot showers, shared bathrooms, and space for up to 4 people. When possible, we rotate guests through these jungle cabins so everyone can enjoy a magical night listening to the sounds of the forest.

We sometimes stay at the town hostel depending on weather conditions and ongoing projects. It has shared bathrooms with sit-down toilets, showers, and Wi-Fi for part of the day. No matter where you're staying, you'll be close to your group, with 1 bathroom for every 4 travelers, laundry service available for around $4 per kilo (15 soles), and lots of comfy hammocks to unwind and enjoy the view.

Connecting knowledge globally and bolstering ecological projects in local villages is at the heart of this unique initiative. Our core mission is to champion sustainable alternatives to destructive agricultural practices and other activities that harm the rainforest and displace wild animal species. A key focus is raising awareness about animal trafficking and the illegal capture of tropical animals. Ultimately, we aim to establish a larger, better-funded animal sanctuary, offering enhanced medical care and improving the quality of existing local animal shelters and rescue centers.

Visitors are invited to experience the unparalleled biodiversity of the Peruvian Amazon jungle. This immersive journey allows you to directly contribute to the protection and care of the rainforest and its animals. You'll gain hands-on experience in tropical farming, explore lush botanical gardens, engage with the indigenous community, and become an integral part of vital conservation, animal care at the rescue center, and ecological projects.

Danny, your dedicated guide, will ensure a safe and seamless experience. Fluent in English, German, and Spanish, Danny handles all reservations, food, and transport, providing detailed information via WhatsApp before your arrival. During your stay, you'll share work, time, and meals with Danny and his colleagues, fully immersing yourself in the projects and daily life.

Sobre el destino

This valley is truly something special. It boasts the highest biodiversity on the planet—no exaggeration! This exceptional richness is due to its unique location at a slightly higher elevation than the Amazon basin, nestled close to the Andean mountains. This means there is a harmonious blend of species from both mountainous and flatland jungle areas.

The climate here is perfectly balanced—not too cold, not too hot—making it a comfortable place to be year-round. The rivers are mostly crystalline, offering pristine water sources that are simply breathtaking. Plus, the diverse microclimates in the region mean there are endless possibilities for farming.

Visitors will experience the unparalleled natural beauty and ecological wonders of the valley. They will be part of a community dedicated to conservation and sustainable living, and will witness firsthand why this place is unmatched in its biodiversity and charm.

Impacto y Propósito

Our mission is to ensure healthy lives in dignity for rescue animals, with a focus on rewilding as many as possible. We aim to create a positive social impact through education about wildlife trafficking and related topics. By protecting existing rainforest areas and restoring lost forests, we raise awareness about conservation and sustainability. Our efforts also promote sustainable alternative income for local families, farmers, and everyone in our conservationist collective.

Additionally, we provide legal support and helping hands for all the projects of our indigenous community. This collaboration fosters a harmonious relationship between people, wildlife, and the environment. By empowering the local population, we help them live with and for the rainforest, ultimately benefiting the climate and the entire ecosystem. Together, we strive to build a future where nature and humanity thrive in balance.
