Programa detallado

What we expect from our Worldpacker
We look for volunteers with interest or background in ecology, biology or environmental sciences. Your tasks include observing biodiversity, documenting wildlife, supporting basic soil comparisons, taking field notes, organizing simple datasets, and capturing photos/videos to share scientific discoveries on social media. Curiosity, responsibility and deep respect for nature are essential.

What you can expect from us
You’ll stay in one of our boutique eco-lofts or in a communal area currently being adapted to host volunteers. We offer guidance, clear tasks, and the chance to colaborate inside a regenerating cloud forest with real conservation impact. This is a space to disconnect from noise and reconnect with nature—our ethos is Unplug to Connect. You’ll learn, explore, and contribute meaningfully while experiencing the Chocó Andino at its best.

Reglas

This is an ecological reserve, so respect for nature is essential at all times.

No loud music, parties or disruptive behavior. Silence and harmony with the forest are part of our ethos.

Do not damage plants, disturb wildlife or leave waste on the trails.

No smoking inside the lofts or in closed areas. If you smoke, only do so in designated outdoor spots and away from vegetation.

Keep shared and natural areas clean and tidy.

Use water and energy responsibly; we operate with limited resources in the forest.

Follow safety instructions and stay on marked trails unless authorized.

Treat the project, staff and guests with respect—this is a space to reconnect and live our philosophy: Unplug to Connect.
