Program Details

Activities & Shift
Volunteers stay in a simple wooden cabin, separate from the lodge, offering a quiet and natural space. The cabin includes a bunk bed and shelves for personal belongings, and is equipped with electricity, two windows, and a door.
There is also a small veranda that can be used as a cozy sitting area to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
Please note that Wi-Fi does not reach the cabin, but it is available in the common areas.
The space is basic and requires a certain level of adaptability, in line with life in the Amazon. The bathroom and shower are separate from the cabin, but easily accessible (about 20 meters away).
The exchange is based on volunteering in return for accommodation. Volunteers have access to a shared kitchen (in the ludoteca area) where they can prepare their own meals.
We ask volunteers to be independent and responsible in managing their daily life. This includes keeping their personal and shared spaces clean and taking care of their own belongings.
For laundry, there is a laundry service less than 1 km away, or you can wash clothes by hand on-site.
Overall, a good level of autonomy is required—this is a place for people who are comfortable organizing themselves and living in a simple, self-managed way.
Rules
Respect the simplicity of life in the Amazon and be adaptable to basic living conditions.
Keep your personal space and shared areas clean and organized at all times.
Take responsibility for your belongings — Maskani Wasi is not liable for lost items.
Be autonomous in your daily routine, including cooking and managing your time.
Use shared spaces (kitchen, common areas) with respect and leave them as you found them.
Be mindful of water and electricity use.
Respect quiet hours and the natural environment around you.
Wi-Fi is available only in common areas — use it consciously.
Maintain a respectful and positive attitude toward the team, community, and other volunteers.
Inform the team in advance of any absence or change in your schedule.
Keep the volunteer cabin in good condition and report any issues promptly.
