This experience was life changing, we had so much fun thanks to the people as well as the amazing monkeys and animals. We learnt so much about the environment as well as ourselves, we feel very privileged to have been able to take part in this opportunity. It is very tough and took us well outside of our comfort zone , the work, the living conditions and being off grid but overall it was completely worth it. Thank you the project!

Exactly a home away from home. I cannot put to words how amazing time I had in this place. The people, the animals, the place. My luck with people was amazing i met the most amazing people in this place. Getting to know and see the animals grow and learn was magical. And also just getting to know them and how they act and who they are was something Ive never experienced before. As for the place, its far away from luxury, it is still a jungle with no internet or electricity but if you give into that youre gonna enjoy it and have the most amazing time ever!!! I really loved the place so so much

Monkeys adorable! Work peaceful, usually in the jungle for 5-6 hours a day just watching and feeding the monkeys. Hot and mosquitoy. Mostly vegetarian except for one day of the week. Little boring in the afternoons. About 10 min boat ride or 30 min walk to rurrenbaque. No electricity or convection to outside world. Good experience overall!

Thank you so much Willemina for your kind words and for your dedication at La Cruz Verde. We’re happy you enjoyed your time with the monkeys and nature, despite the challenges. Wishing you all the best in your next adventures!

We had a great time at the project and enjoyed our stay! Working with the animals in the jungle supporting them to get back into their natural habitat was great and meaningful. We felt very welcomed by the team and the other volunteers and even got to practice our spanish a little bit by interacting with the locals working at the project. Even though the accomodation is basic and without electrocity or Internet we felt comfortable and had a lot of fun with the other volunteers. Even got used to the tarantulas (; Big recommendation if you like working with animals and don't mind the Jungle

I had a good time there. There is no electricity or signal. But you know that beforehand. If you want, you can always take the boat to Rurre for 10 Bs. I was pleasantly surprised by the cooled drinks and the good food from the cook (Theresa). The only downside is that the staff sometimes tell you contradictory things about how to treat the different animals. But you just do your best. And you are happy to do it for the animals and Frederic.
