My experience at the shelter was a really great time to disconnect from my phone and experience the simple beauty of living in the jungle. I really have enjoyed working with the spider monkeys and learning about them, and we all complete tasks collaboratively. I also made some really great friendships and had great laughs. Much of the tasks is cleaning cages, prepping food and feeding, as well as cutting enrichment to bring into the cages. You also help prepare meals for other volunteers from time to time. It's a quite beautiful area and I enjoyed my day off to hang in Rurrenabaque.

Living and working in the jungle to help rehabilitate the shelter has been an unforgettable experience both challenging and incredibly rewarding. Every day is spent alongside a dedicated team, caring for animals that have rescued. Watching them recover and regain their natural behaviors is truly heartwarming. The bond formed with both the animals and the team creates a sense of purpose and family that makes the hard work worth it. The living conditions definitely aren't a 5 star hotel. Just be prepared to be throw in it.

I had a great time at the shelter, it's the perfect place to meet people who are passionate about helping animals. The work can be challenging but is always rewarding. You are working with wild animals and living in the jungle so be prepared to get stuck in.

I had a great experience working with the spider monkeys, watching how they interact and communicate with each other was really fascinating. You can tell everyone here is committed to the animals well-being and the goal of rehabilitation and release. It's great to be part of a team that genuinely puts the animals first. That said, the life in the jungle has its challenges. The living conditions are very basic and the humidity means you're always a bit damp and your clothes never quite dry. But if you're passionate about the shelter it's definitely worth it!

This experience was amazing! I stayed for 4 weeks and got to work with the spider monkeys. I loved the work and the monkeys. I will say that there were a few hard things. Absolutely no personal or private space whatsoever. If your not on shift, You are often around people, and smoke. If you love people and you smoke then this is not an issue at all. I generally love people but I am not a smoker so this aspect was hard. However, do not let this deter you, the shelter is a great place to help animals and really be immersed in the jungle! They definitely need volunteers. Thanks the shelter!!

We absolutely loved our time at the shelter. It was incredible to work at a place where they are really rewilding the animals. It was hard work in the heat and humidity, but definitely worth it!

Hello travelers and volunteers, this experience was the best one I ever had. The people and the host are amazing and working with the shelter and learning about it is something that I would recommend everyone! If you volunteer here, you are really helping the animals to have a better future. The accommodation is simple but does the job and it's actually really nice to have a bit of a rest from social media and your phone. You will meet a lot of new people: travelers and locals and I guarantee that you will enjoy your time there. I will definitely go back one day!!

This is not for everyone. Living conditions are very simple, food is simple, the jungle and the shelter can be dangerous, work rythm most of your days. But I enjoyed my stay as it's a spécial experience working with the shelter. We had good time making fire on the beach and party nights. Overall a good project to invest energy, time and money for the animals if you live them and ready to sacrifice comfort.

Volunteering at the shelter is a raw, real and life-changing experience. You'll help animals like capuchin, tamarin and spider monkeys, as well as support jaguars and other felines in recovery. The conditions are tough—humidity, mosquitoes, and no internet—but it's worth it. It's not for those seeking an easy time or social media content. This is hands-on hard work, driven by love for animals and their future. If you're ready to commit, the shelter will leave a lasting impact on you. The animals and the team truly need every bit of help, and the experience will give you memories you'll never forget.
