Help us and visit us as a volunteer
The help of volunteers from around the world is very important to us and makes our Sacha Yacu project possible. Without the support of volunteers, Sacha Yacu would not exist.
Volunteers are needed to help with the following activities: - Daily care of the animals - Fruit cutting, diet preparation, and feeding of the animals - Help newcomers adapt to the center - General maintenance and cleaning - Construction work; repair and construction of new enclosures - Daily walks to collect fruits for the animals and also to harvest cassava, corn, sugarcane, banana or cacao - Also, we do work that can be more physically demanding, such as the construction and repair of enclosures, road construction, tree felling, fruit harvesting, etc.
