About this trip
Join us for an otherworldly volunteer adventure in the Amazon of Peru!
Led by seasoned traveler Calen Otto and hosted by Amozonas, this unruly group trip will take 11 - 13 participants on a hands-on journey where they'll immerse themself in jungle living and Indigenous culture.
Starting in Cusco, travelers will spend a night in the bustling city bonding over a local vegan meal before heading out to the lush Amazon. There we'll spend the days taking care of rescued animals, managing & protecting wildlife areas, volunteering with the local Indigenous community, playing, swimming, hiking, and exploring. When our time in the wild has come to an end, we'll come back to Cusco to spend a day in the city together.
This trip will encourage community-building, human & nonhuman connection, cultural immersion, play, joy, and eco-minded adventure.
