Amaru Bioparque Cuenca

At Amaru Biopark, learning has no limits. Here, in our conservation home, volunteers will learn about the stories, management, and conservation of each animal in the park, while they also learn about the animals and undertake Spanish language learning at the same time, because our mission with volunteers is that they learn as much as possible; the more time they spend with us in the park, the more they will learn. The fact that they volunteer with us is a two-way feedback of knowledge, as we also learn from them and exchange experiences, expanding knowledge for everyone.

At Amaru we work with about 30 people including wildlife caretakers, veterinarians, environmental educators, ticketing staff, bar staff, maintenance staff and administration. The work environment internally is very pleasant since all of us who make up Amaru are very committed to the goal of wildlife conservation. Our experience with the volunteers who have visited us has been spectacular, so the treatment they will receive will be the best, and they will surely leave with an unforgettable experience and learning.

I have no words to describe the experience I’ve been lucky enough to have. I’m so grateful for the warm welcome, the teaching, and the patience of my coworkers... I was lucky to have a room and a bathroom to myself (although the water issue could be improved). Naturally, I would definitely recommend this experience 200%; I’m even thinking of doing it again myself. I’m taking home great people and wonderful memories. The work, the care, and the respect they show toward animals are admirable.

Mi experiencia en el refugio ha sido muy enriquecedora. Cada día he aprendido algo nuevo, teniendo la oportunidad de colaborar en diversas áreas, conociendo de cerca la fauna silvestre y el invaluable trabajo de rescate, rehabilitación y sensibilización que realizan con animales víctimas del tráfico ilegal o desplazados por la deforestación. Como sugerencia de mejora, propuse al coordinador un mejor inventario y orden en la cocina y la lavanderia. Recomiendo esta experiencia, su equipo es apasionado y comprometido. ¡Ojalá más personas se sumen a la conservación de estos proyectos tan importantes!

I loved volunteering here! The people of the shelter are amazing and you get to meet and learn about all the animals they have there. The work is hard but satisfying and I learned a lot! The only thing is that most of the people speak little english, but it is a very good practice for your Spanish :)

Foi uma das minhas melhores experiências com voluntariado, toda a equipe me recebeu muito bem, tive a oportunidade de trabalhar com varias areas e descobrir coisas sobre mim que ainda não tinha noção, ótimo para quem quer uma emersão sobre o aprendizado e trabalho em fauna silvestre.
