The Experience

We're an NGO working for the economic and social development of communities in the Peruvian Amazon. We focus on education, environment, ecotourism, public health and cultural exchange. The idea is to connect new language abilities with positive emotions. Volunteers can design workshops for kids such as football matches, arts and crafts, environmental education, drama and so on, to help them develop their new language in a dynamic environment.

I had a great experience volunteering at the organization. The other volunteers were very relaxed and friendly, and we shared many activities together, which made the time even more enjoyable. The children at the local school are amazing, and I am confident that teaching them English will open up valuable opportunities for their future. Codo del Pozuzo is a small authentic Peruvian town surrounded by beautiful nature.

I had an amazing experience volunteering with the organization. The people were incredibly kind, and I had so much fun. I discovered and learned a lot about the local nature, and I had the chance to engage with the local community. Teaching English to the children at the school was incredibly rewarding, and playing with them brought me so much joy. The feeling of being able to help others was truly fulfilling. I'm very grateful for this amazing experience!

Volunteering with the organization in Codo del Pozuzo was a transformative experience. Teaching English to locals enhanced my leadership and creativity, while cultural immersion with a local family broadened my perspective. Exploring waterfalls and birdwatching added adventure. I met incredible volunteers along the way and highly recommend this to anyone seeking nature, culture, and meaningful impact.

My time teaching English at the organization was unforgettable! The kids were so fun to teach, the other volunteers have become life friends, and you do so many incredible outings in the Amazon! Christian is fantastic help for anything you need! Dora & Hans and well as their children are the absolute best and are great at helping with anything you could need. They are also awesome at being flexible with plans! I extended my stay by 3 weeks because I love it here so much!! I honestly would love to stay longer! I have lots of tips if you plan to come here so message me if you have questions:)

There are major problems that need to be addressed. The information provided beforehand is not up to date. The location indicated on Worldpackers is wrong, there is no german teaching, no english teaching for higher classes and it is frustrating to see how volunteers arrive with a small surprise. We also never met the host in person and was giving instructions through WhatsApp, failing to notice our problems and complaints. The trips however were amazing and the deal is fair, yet it feels more like a tour company than it being a non profit organization. I hope for good changes in the future.
