La Cruz Verde

Volunteers will gain valuable insights into the needs and specialized care of various local wildlife species, including nutrition and suitable living conditions in a natural environment. They will also engage in the complex processes of rehabilitating and relocating rescued animals back into their habitats. Additionally, veterinary care at our animal clinic plays a crucial role in our wildlife conservation efforts.

While our work with wildlife is a vital part of our mission, volunteers will also engage in enriching cultural exchanges with local indigenous communities. This close contact provides a unique perspective on a way of life that emphasizes foraging and harvesting the diverse "fruits" and resources offered by the Amazon rainforest.

Engaging in construction projects using local materials and basic tools is an excellent way to enhance creativity and manual skills. Working with the jungle’s flora also offers invaluable knowledge about edible, medicinal, and craft-worthy plants. Additionally, through the contributions of our volunteers, we establish a Health Fund, providing vital support to community members in times of emergency, accidents, and illness.

Once the school location is established, we will offer a variety of educational courses, including language classes in Tacana and English, as well as math and environmental education. These classes will be conducted by skilled local teachers and supported by volunteers, ensuring a rich learning experience for all.

At La Cruz Verde, we are a passionate team dedicated to our work, deeply respecting the forest and every form of life within it. Joining us in the Bolivian Jungle promises an unforgettable experience as you immerse yourself in our commitment to conservation and community.

What a place... U dont really need the electricity. Food is vegeterian but u have a day or two off to meet your meat needs. Staff is down to earth and u can get everything sorted without needless issues. The animal experience tops anything u have ever done - if u can survive tge jungle then try it. U arent a guest - u are part of the animal pack. Mosquitoes, humidity, bees flying in your ears, rain, slippery slopes, mud, rashes, bites ... its normal here. 4 weeks went like a breeze

Michael stayed with us for about a month and was a real pleasure to host. He is kind, respectful, and very hardworking. He showed great commitment, adapted quickly to jungle life, and always helped with a positive attitude.
Juanito and the team agree that Michael was excellent , proactive, and supportive. We truly appreciate his contribution and would gladly recommend him to future hosts. Michael is always welcome back.

Had an amazing time volunteering here. I loved spending times with all the animals, especially the baby monkeys. The team are very passionate about supporting the monkeys and other animals. The living conditions are as you would expect in the jungle without access to electricity but I think this adds to the experience!

I think there could be better briefing and clearer communication on how to interact with the monkeys because after all they are wild animals. Sometimes there are different instructions given by each member of the team which can be confusing.

Over all would recommend :)

Une expérience forte et enrichissante bien qu’intense. On y découvre une méthode de réintroduction des animaux unique en Bolivie. Les installations permettent un bon confort dans la jungle amazonienne. On y rencontre locaux de la communauté et voyageur.euses internationaux, l’ambiance est folle et les liens tissés sont forts.
Mention spéciale à l’équipe des volontaires long terme qui nous accueillent avec une énergie folle et une grande bienveillance!
On recommande fortement d’y passer plus que 2 semaines.

even though it was definitely not easy at all times (mainly due to many mosquitoes and being in the jungle), i very much enjoyed my time at la cruz verde. the other people were great and every single one of them was amazingly friendly and helpful, also the staff was lovely. obviously the monkeys were amazing to be around, and it was an amazing experience learning so much about them and their behaviour in the wild. i was very lucky that i was able to work with so many species, this was definitely something that made my stay even more interesting! food of course was amazing as well!

Thank you, Lara, for sharing your experience.
Indeed, during the summer season there are many mosquitoes and all kinds of insects — this is part of life in the jungle and something every volunteer should be prepared for.
We are glad that despite the natural challenges of the environment, you enjoyed your time with the animals and with our team.
We truly appreciate your dedication and the positive energy you brought to La Cruz Verde.

Fue mi primer voluntariado y la experiencia fue perfecta. Tota la gente que trabaja es genial, siempre con una sonrisa, enseñando todo respecto a la fauna con la que trabajamos, la comunidad y creando un buen clima para sentirte como en casa. Estuve dos semanas y se me pasaron muy rápido, el sitio es hermoso, echaré de menos la energía y la tranquilidad que se respira allí. Gracias por todo Juana y otros (trabajadores/as y voluntarios/as) 💖
