Yvytú is a private nature reserve located on RN 101 in the Paraná rainforest of Misiones. We are part of the Urugua-í–Foerster biological corridor and contribute to an ecotourism project where conservation and environmental restoration coexist, jungle trails, an organic garden and the encounter between visitors and nature.
We are looking for volunteers who want to get involved in the life of the reserve and help maintain it. Depending on your skills and the needs at the moment, you will be able to collaborate with the care of trails and gardens, the organic garden, the restoration of signage, and other improvements to the space. If you have experience in art, carpentry, plumbing, electrical work or construction, we would also love to know what you can contribute.
We want it to be an exchange experience: in addition to collaborating, you will have time to explore the reserve, observe the jungle and learn about the conservation project of which Yvytú forms part. If you enjoy working outdoors and are eager to contribute your ideas and energy, we would love to meet you! 🌿
Collaboration consists of four hours per day. The tasks are coordinated in advance or organized according to what arises at the reserve. They may include maintenance of trails and common spaces, gardening, care of the organic garden, signage and general improvements, according to your experience.
Outside of that schedule you will have free time to rest and enjoy the reserve. It is also allowed to use the bicycles available.
Cleaning is essential for Yvytú to be a comfortable space for those who live here and for those who visit us, and to prevent attracting unwanted animals to the common areas.
- Accommodation: Keep your space clean and leave your shoes at the entrance. After using the bathroom, clean it and dry it. Most surfaces are wooden: avoid leaving them wet or muddy.
- Shared outdoor bathroom: Leave your shoes at the entrance. If you shower, dry the floor so the next person does not get their feet wet. Let us know when the paper holder is full or runs out of toilet paper.
- Quincho and kitchen: We take turns washing dishes after meals. If you eat on your own, wash your utensils when you finish. Put dry dishes away, don't leave food outside and keep the surfaces clean and dry.
Clothes: Do not leave damp or sweaty clothes outside or pile them inside the house, as they can attract insects. Underwear can be washed by hand and should dry inside the house. Check before using the washing machine; muddy clothes should be washed by hand and brushed well before putting them in.
