I had a wonderful stay at the shelter, the staff were super friendly and inclusive, and did everything they could to make us feel comfortable and at home. They provided 3 warm meals a day, and plenty of water. There were a few challenges with the showers, as they rely on rainwater, and as we were a large group we often ran out of water for a few days- but there’s a fresh river near by that does the job! And these are challenges to be expected with accommodation like this! All in all a great experience- thank you the shelter !

My experience at the shelter was absolutely incredible. Of course the monkeys and other animals were adorable, but the community / family that works and lives there is was truly made it a wonderful adventure. I would recommend this to everyone and I would go back in a heartbeat! Thank for you a 10/10 experience

I truly enjoyed my time in the Amazon Rainforest! 🌿🐒 The hosts were absolutely impeccable; so welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire experience.
One of my favorite parts was caring for the different types of monkeys and getting the opportunity to connect with nature in such a meaningful way. Being able to experience the Amazon from such a real and authentic perspective made the entire trip unforgettable.
It was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. 10/10—I would absolutely recommend! 🌳🐒✨

My stay was absolutely amazing and an experience I will never forget. Everyone was extremely nice and there was plenty to do to keep you busy throughout the days. The WiFi works good in the main part of the building incase you need to use your phone at all. Overall I would absolutely recommend coming here if you get the chance, the monkeys were awesome.

This trip was a wonderful way to experience the beauty of Ecuador. The host provides a good balance of interaction with the animals/volunteering and also free time and planned activities to explore the culture and experiences of Ecuador. They are pretty flexible as well so you can tailor your experience to fit your needs. The host really shows their primary focus is to ensure you are safe, comfortable and enjoying your time. Our travel buddy (Arianna) was a key piece of the trip and it would not be the same without her, any other groups will be extremely lucky to have her as well!

This is an incredible authentic experience. The hosts went out of their way to provide an amazing stay at the shelter. I highly reccomend this place if you're passionate about helping animals, learning Spanish, and meeting new people from around Ecuador/ the world. You can tell everyone at the shelter cares greatly for the animals and go out of their way to provide an ethical healthy environment for them. This being said, you are staying in the jungle. So expect bugs, cold water, and bats sleeping with you sometimes haha. I promise it's worth it💛

Be ready to step outside of your comfort zones with the many bugs of the Amazon. My experience at the shelter has changed my life for the better and provided me with a once in a lifetime opportunity to connect with not just the Amazon and the rehabilitated animals, but the people who keep the place running as well. Such a special community that I will forever long to revisit.

This wildlife rescue center does an incredible job caring for animals that have been rescued from illegal trafficking and poor living conditions.\nSeeing the monkeys and other animals in a natural forest environment was both inspiring and educational.🐒
