The Experience

We want to expand the collection of local species photos from our ecological conservation area. We would especially like photographs of birds and insects. These photos will be published periodically on our social networks to raise awareness among people about the region's great biodiversity and the importance of conserving its ecosystems. On your end, if you publish the photos on your networks and mention us, you will be helping us a lot!

I came from South Korea on my first trip to South America, and volunteering with Bresly in Oxapampa was the perfect start to Peru! I enjoyed it a thousand times more than expected. She is kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, sharing the history of Oxapampa, Peruvian culture, and her love of nature. Her Spanish lessons helped me connect with locals and truly enjoy their culture. Don't miss her birdwatching and excursions! This was so much more than volunteering: I learned so much and felt truly welcome. Choosing this place was one of my best decisions. Thank you, Bresly!

I loved the week I spent at Bresly's. She is a really nice person, very attentive, and always concerned that everything is going well 🫶🏼 She will learn you a lot of thing about nature, forest, plants and everything about peruvian culture! Her place is cosy and her two rescued cats are really kind! We shared a lot of good times playing card, talking, hiking or more! It was a very nice experience that I highly recommend to you! Bresly will take you everywhere to show you the region and will give you a lot of good advices for the rest of your stay in Peru! Thank you for everything 🫶🏼

Bresly is one of the sweetest host you can meet. A very listening person, who really care about the volunteers she welcome and wants to create as much link as possible. She learn us a lot about birds, bees, insects and so on, relative to the nature. (And it's in the middle of the it, so if you are afraid of little animals it may not be for you :) But the whole experience is really enriching and make you realize about the way of life of others countries. I would definitely recommend this experience !! Thank you again Bresly :)

My experience with Bresly was absolutely wonderful! Her property is peaceful surrounded by many plants and animals, including her adorable bunny and cat. The work was enjoyable as I like gardening. Bresly taught me so much about the land, plants, birds, and gave great spanish lessons. She took me on many excursions so I was able to see many different areas of Oxapampa. I had plenty of time to relax, read, practice yoga and enjoy nature. I hope I can find myself back to this place in the future. 100% recommend this experience!
